Subject: [PATCH][next] dmaengine: ti: omap-dma: don't allow a null od->plat pointer to be dereferenced

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

Currently when the call to dev_get_platdata returns null the driver issues
a warning and then later dereferences the null pointer.  Avoid this issue
by returning -EPROBE_DEFER errror rather when the platform data is null.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: 211010aeb097 ("dmaengine: ti: omap-dma: Pass sdma auxdata to driver and use it")
