Subject: [PATCH] i2c: designware-baytrail: fix potential null pointer dereference on dev

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The assignment to addr requires a call to get_sem_addr that dereferences
dev, however, this dereference occurs before a null pointer check on dev.
Move this assignment after the null check on dev to avoid a potential null
pointer dereference.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1419700 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: fd476fa22a1f432 ("i2c: designware-baytrail: Add support for cherrytrail")
