Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/sysdev: fix incorrect use to determine if list is empty
Date:   Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:24:33 +0100

'gtm' will *always* be set by list_for_each_entry().
It is incorrect to assume that the iterator value will be NULL if the
list is empty.

Instead of checking the pointer it should be checked if
the list is empty.
