Subject: [PATCH 4.14 078/122] remoteproc: Check for NULL firmwares in sysfs interface

From: Suman Anna <s-anna@...com>

[ Upstream commit faeadbb64094757150a8c2a3175ca418dbdd472c ]

The remoteproc framework provides a sysfs file 'firmware'
for modifying the firmware image name from userspace. Add
an additional check to ensure NULL firmwares are errored
out right away, rather than getting a delayed error while
requesting a firmware during the start of a remoteproc
later on.
