Subject: [PATCH] lib/genalloc.c: add check gen_pool_dma_alloc() if dma pointer is not NULL

From: "Lad, Prabhakar" <prabhakar.csengg@...il.com>

In the gen_pool_dma_alloc() the dma pointer can be NULL
and while assigning gen_pool_virt_to_phys(pool, vaddr) to
dma caused the following crash on da850 evm,

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
