Subject: [PATCH 3.19 061/123] spi: dw-mid: avoid potential NULL dereference

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

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

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@...ux.intel.com>

commit c9dafb27c84412fe4b17c3b94cc4ffeef5df1833 upstream.

When DMA descriptor allocation fails we should not try to assign any fields in
the bad descriptor. The patch adds the necessary checks for that.

Fixes: 7063c0d942a1 (spi/dw_spi: add DMA support)
