[PATCH 4.19 079/134] tty: atmel_serial: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kangjie Lu <k...@umn.edu>

commit c85be041065c0be8bc48eda4c45e0319caf1d0e5 upstream.

In case dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic fails, the fix returns a proper
error code to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
