With commit ce88313069c36eef80f21fd7 ("arch/sh: make the DMA mapping
operations observe dev->dma_pfn_offset") the generic DMA allocation
function on which the SH 'dma_alloc_coherent()' function relies on,
access the 'dma_pfn_offset' field of struct device.

Unfortunately the 'dma_generic_alloc_coherent()' function is called from
several places with a NULL struct device argument, halting the CPU
during the boot process.

This patch fixes the issue protecting access to dev->dma_pfn_offset,
with a trivial check for validity. It also passes a valid 'struct device'
in the 'platform_resource_setup_memory' function which is the main user
of 'dma_alloc_coherent()', and inserting a WARN_ON() check to make future
(and existing) bogus users of this function they're should provide a valid
'struct device' whenever possible.

Fixes: ce88313069c36eef80f21fd7 ("arch/sh: make the DMA mapping operations observe dev->dma_pfn_offset")
