From: Viresh Kumar <[email protected]> commit 9a188eb126aa7bf27077ee46fcb914898d6fc281 upstream.
In of_dma_controller_register() routine we are calling of_get_property() as an parameter to be32_to_cpup(). In case the property doesn't exist we will get a crash. This patch changes this code to check if we got a valid property first and then runs be32_to_cpup() on it. Additional notes on this stable commit: Fixing NULL pointer access on Calxeda Highbank systems that don't have a '#dma-cells' property. Fix is for 3.9 stable only.
