Subject: [PATCH] of/flattree: Fix crash when device tree absent

This patch fixes the condition where device tree support is compiled
in, but no device tree was proved by firmware.  It makes
of_platform_bus_probe() explicitly check for a NULL device tree
pointer, and adds an error message if the device tree was unable
to be flattened.
