Subject: [PATCH] io: adc: stm32-adc: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in stm32_adc_probe()

of_match_device() may fail and returns a NULL pointer.

Fix this by checking the return value of of_match_device().

Fixes: 64ad7f6438f3 ("iio: adc: stm32: introduce compatible data cfg")

Hi Zhang,

I'm not sure we can actually make this bug happen. Do you have
a way of triggering it? The driver is only probed on devices where
that match will work.

Also, assuming the match table is the same one associated with this probe
function, then us priv->cfg = of_device_get_match_data() and check the output
of that which is what we really care about.

Jonathan

Applied but with a modified commit message to describe this as hardening rather
than a fix. Also dropped the fixes tag as I don't really want this to be
picked up for stable.
