Actually, the error handling is left to the users of the function.
We do a BUG_ON() in the caller. e.g, init/update_cpu_ftr_reg can't
accept a NULL and BUGs. While the emulate_sys_reg() issues the call
only for the emualted feature registers(excluding MIDR/REVIDR etc),
so a NULL is perfectly acceptable for them.
