Subject: [PATCH 3.10 71/74] NTB: Add Error Handling in ntb_device_setup

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

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

From: Jon Mason <jon.mason@...el.com>

commit 3b12a0d15bd1559e72ad21d9d807fd2a6706f0ab upstream.

If an error is encountered in ntb_device_setup, it is possible that the
spci_cmd isn't populated.  Writes to the offset can result in a NULL
pointer dereference.  This issue is easily encountered by running in
NTB-RP mode, as it currently is not supported and will generate an
error.  To get around this issue, return if an error is encountered
prior to attempting to write to the spci_cmd offset.
