[PATCH] MIPS: fw: Allow firmware to pass a empty env

From: Jiaxun Yang
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 07:15:11 EST


fw_getenv will use env entry to determine style of env,
however it is legal for firmware to just pass a empty list.

Check if first entry exist before running strchr to avoid
null pointer dereference.
