[PATCH] of/irq: Avoid calling list_first_entry() for empty list

From: Axel Lin
Date: Sun Jun 23 2013 - 03:50:18 EST


list_first_entry() expects the list is not empty, we need to check if list is
empty before calling list_first_entry(). Thus use list_first_entry_or_null()
instead of list_first_entry().
