Subject: [PATCH] media: isif: fix a NULL pointer dereference bug

In isif_probe(), there is a while loop to get the ISIF base address and
linearization table0 and table1 address. In the loop body, the function
platform_get_resource() is called to get the resource. If
platform_get_resource() returns NULL, the loop is terminated and the
execution goes to 'fail_nobase_res'. Suppose the loop is terminated at the
first iteration because platform_get_resource() returns NULL and the
execution goes to 'fail_nobase_res'. Given that there is another while loop
at 'fail_nobase_res' and i equals to 0, one iteration of the second while
loop will be executed. However, the second while loop does not check the
return value of platform_get_resource(). This can cause a NULL pointer
dereference bug if the return value is a NULL pointer.

This patch avoids the above issue by adding a check in the second while
loop after the call to platform_get_resource().
