From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fbed20280d912449cfb40c382cb55e3d11502587 ] There is a potential execution path in which function of_find_compatible_node() returns NULL. In such a case, we end up having a NULL pointer dereference when accessing pointer *nfc_np* in function of_clk_get(). So, we better don't take any chances and fix this by null checking pointer *nfc_np* before calling of_clk_get().
