> of_reserved_mem_lookup() may return NULL if the reserved memory region
> referenced by the "memory-region" phandle is not found in the reserved
> memory table (e.g. due to a misconfigured DTS or a removed
> memory-region node). The current code dereferences the returned
> pointer without checking for NULL, leading to a kernel NULL pointer
> dereference at the following lines:
>
> dma_addr = rmem->base; // line 1156
> num_desc = div_u64(rmem->size, buf_size); // line 1160
>
> Add a NULL check after of_reserved_mem_lookup() and return -ENODEV if
> the lookup fails, which is consistent with the existing error handling
> for of_parse_phandle() failure in the same code block.
