net: caif: replace BUG_ON with recovery code
In caif_xmit, there is a crash if the ptr dev is NULL. However, by returning the error to the callers, the error can be handled. The patch fixes this issue. Signed-off-by: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@umn.edu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
