Subject: [PATCH 4.3 194/200] drm/nouveau/pmu: do not assume a PMU is present

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

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

From: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@...dia.com>

commit 579b7c58215329803ce184704463de09f0f310ac upstream.

Some devices may not have a PMU. Avoid a NULL pointer dereference in
such cases by checking whether the pointer given to nvkm_pmu_pgob() is
valid.
