drivers: base: swnode: check if pointer p is NULL before dereferencing it
The pointer p can be potentially NULL as macro to_software_node can return NULL. Add null check on p before dereferencing it to avoid any NULL pointer dereferences. Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1476039 ("Explicit null dereferenced") Fixes: 59abd83672f7 (drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework) Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
