Subject: [PATCH 3.18 026/150] powerpc: Fix bad NULL pointer check in udbg_uart_getc_poll()

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

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

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@...ba.org>

commit cd32e2dcc9de6c27ecbbfc0e2079fb64b42bad5f upstream.

We have some code in udbg_uart_getc_poll() that tries to protect
against a NULL udbg_uart_in, but gets it all wrong.

Found with the LLVM static analyzer (scan-build).

Fixes: 309257484cc1 ("powerpc: Cleanup udbg_16550 and add support for LPC PIO-only UARTs")
