Subject: [PATCH] iphase: Adding a null pointer check

The pointer <dev->desc_tbl[i].iavcc> is dereferenced on line 195.
Further in the code, it is checked for null on line 204.
It is proposed to add a check before dereferencing the pointer.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
