Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] serial: mctrl_gpio: Add a NULL check to
 mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod()

From: Frieder Schrempf <frieder.schrempf@...tron.de>

As it is allowed to use the mctrl_gpio_* functions before
initialization (as the 8250 driver does according to 434be0ae7aa7),
it seems appropriate to have a NULL check in all of the functions.
Otherwise the mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod() function is prone to be used
in a context that can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
