Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: b53: Fix dereference of null dev

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

Currently pointer priv is dereferencing dev before dev is being null
checked so a potential null pointer dereference can occur. Fix this
by only assigning and using priv if dev is not-null.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 16994374a6fc ("net: dsa: b53: Make SRAB driver manage port interrupts")
