From: Uri Mashiach <uri.mashiach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

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

commit e47301b06d5a65678690f04c2248fd181db1e59a upstream.

Fix the below Oops when trying to modprobe wlcore_spi.
The oops occurs because the wl1271_power_{off,on}()
function doesn't check the power() function pointer.

Prevent oops by validationg power() pointer value before
calling the function.
