Subject[PATCH][next] drivers: base: swnode: check if swnode is null before dereferencing it
Date
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The macro to_software_mode can potentially return NULL, so also add
a null check on the swnode before dereferencing it to avoid any null
pointer dereferences.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1476052 ("Explicit null dereferenced")

Fixes: 59abd83672f7 ("drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
