Subject: [PATCH] POWER: jz4740-battery: Check if platform_data is supplied

Currently platform_data is dereferenced without checking whether it is actually
set, which can lead to kernel crashes.
This patch adds a check which will abort the drivers probe function gracefully
if no platform_data is supplied.
