Subject: [ 142/262] DMA: PL330: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pl330_submit_req()

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Sachin Kamat <sachin.kamat@...aro.org>

commit 2e2c682becb20416c140aa0d6d3137b51a5c76da upstream.

'r->cfg' is being checked for NULL. However, it is dereferenced
in the previous statements. Thus moving those statements within
the check.
