The power_supply_get_by_phandle() on error returns ENODEV or NULL. The driver later expects obtained pointer to power supply to be valid or NULL. If it is not NULL then it dereferences it in bq2415x_notifier_call() which would lead to dereferencing ENODEV-value pointer. Properly handle the power_supply_get_by_phandle() error case and abort probe.
