Subject: [PATCH 5.17 205/219] ARM: davinci: da850-evm: Avoid NULL pointer dereference

From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>

commit 83a1cde5c74bfb44b49cb2a940d044bb2380f4ea upstream.

With newer versions of GCC, there is a panic in da850_evm_config_emac()
when booting multi_v5_defconfig in QEMU under the palmetto-bmc machine:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000020
pgd = (ptrval)
[00000020] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.15.0 #1
Hardware name: Generic DT based system
PC is at da850_evm_config_emac+0x1c/0x120
LR is at do_one_initcall+0x50/0x1e0

The emac_pdata pointer in soc_info is NULL because davinci_soc_info only
gets populated on davinci machines but da850_evm_config_emac() is called
on all machines via device_initcall().

Move the rmii_en assignment below the machine check so that it is only
dereferenced when running on a supported SoC.
