Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 055/128] video: fbdev: fsl: Fix kernel crash when diu_ops is not implemented

3.16.7-ckt23 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Wang Dongsheng <dongsheng.wang@...escale.com>

commit acfc1cc13fe5bc6d7a10afa624f1e560850ddad3 upstream.

If diu_ops is not implemented on platform, kernel will access a NULL
pointer. We need to check this pointer in DIU initialization.
