From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit dfee4111febf3d9ef3a640b2cd6205c75f4e7e3d upstream.

Fix NULL pointer exception when platform data is not supplied. The
driver dereferenced pdata pointer where it could be NULL.
