[PATCH] regmap: fix NULL pointer dereference in regmap_get_val_endian

From: Pankaj Dubey
Date: Thu Sep 18 2014 - 05:47:05 EST


Recents commits for getting reg endianness causing NULL pointer
dereference if dev is passed NULL in regmap_init_mmio. This patch
fixes this issue, and allows to parse reg endianness only if dev
and dev->of_node exist.
