Subject: spi: dw-mid: avoid potential NULL dereference
From: Andy Shevchenko <[email protected]>
commit c9dafb27c84412fe4b17c3b94cc4ffeef5df1833 upstream.
When DMA descriptor allocation fails we should not try to assign any fields in
the bad descriptor. The patch adds the necessary checks for that.
Fixes: 7063c0d942a1 (spi/dw_spi: add DMA support)
