4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@xxxxxxxxxx> commit fadf3a44e974b030e7145218ad1ab25e3ef91738 upstream. Connection child names associated to ports can sometimes be NULL, which is the case when booting a system on QEMU or when the Coresight power domain isn't switched on. This patch is adding a check to make sure a NULL string isn't fed to strcmp(), something that avoid crashing the system.
