Subject: [PATCH 3.10 41/77] media: ivtv: Fix Oops when no firmware is loaded

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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit deb29e90221a6d4417aa67be971613c353180331 upstream.

When ivtv PCM device is accessed at the state where no firmware is
loaded, it oopses like:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000050

This patch adds the check of firmware at PCM open callback like other
open callbacks of this driver.
