From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

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

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

commit deb29e90221a6d4417aa67be971613c353180331 upstream.

When ivtv PCM device is accessed at the state where no firmware is
loaded, it oopses like:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000050

This patch adds the check of firmware at PCM open callback like other
open callbacks of this driver.
