Subject: [PATCH 3.4 23/25] power: max17040: Fix NULL pointer dereference when there is no platform_data

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

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

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@...sung.com>

commit ac323d8d807060f7c95a685a9fe861e7b6300993 upstream.

Fix NULL pointer dereference of "chip->pdata" if platform_data was not
supplied to the driver.

The driver during probe stored the pointer to the platform_data:
	chip->pdata = client->dev.platform_data;
Later it was dereferenced in max17040_get_online() and
max17040_get_status().

If platform_data was not supplied, the NULL pointer exception would
happen:
