Subject: dmaengine: stm32-dma: Fix null pointer dereference in stm32_dma_tx_status
From: M'boumba Cedric Madianga <cedric.madianga@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 57b5a32135c813f2ab669039fb4ec16b30cb3305 ]
chan->desc is always set to NULL when a DMA transfer is complete.
As a DMA transfer could be complete during the call of stm32_dma_tx_status,
we need to be sure that chan->desc is not NULL before using this variable
to avoid a null pointer deference issue.
