[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 042/126] powerpc: Fix bad NULL pointer check in udbg_uart_getc_poll()

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Jan 27 2015 - 07:42:41 EST


3.16.7-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>

commit cd32e2dcc9de6c27ecbbfc0e2079fb64b42bad5f upstream.

We have some code in udbg_uart_getc_poll() that tries to protect
against a NULL udbg_uart_in, but gets it all wrong.

Found with the LLVM static analyzer (scan-build).

Fixes: 309257484cc1 ("powerpc: Cleanup udbg_16550 and add support for LPC PIO-only UARTs")
