Subject: sfp: fix sfp-bus oops when removing socket/upstream
From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 0b2122e4934c7783d336397864e34ee53aad0965 ]
When we remove a socket or upstream, and the other side isn't
registered, we dereference a NULL pointer, causing a kernel oops.
Fix this.
Fixes: ce0aa27ff3f6 ("sfp: add sfp-bus to bridge between network devices and sfp cages")
