Subject[PATCH] mtd: sm_ftl: fix NULL pointer warning
Date
With gcc -O3, we get a new warning:

In file included from arch/arm64/include/asm/processor.h:28,
from drivers/mtd/sm_ftl.c:8:
In function 'memset',
inlined from 'sm_read_sector.constprop' at drivers/mtd/sm_ftl.c:250:3:
include/linux/string.h:411:9: error: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);

From all I can tell, this cannot happen (the function is called
either with a NULL buffer or with a -1 block number but not both),
but adding a check makes it more robust and avoids the warning.

Fixes: mmtom ("init/Kconfig: enable -O3 for all arches")
