The current code passes the address of tpm_chip as the argument to
dev_get_drvdata() without prior NULL check in
tpm_ibmvtpm_get_desired_dma. This resulted an oops during kernel
boot when vTPM is enabled in Power partition configured in active
memory sharing mode.
The vio_driver's get_desired_dma() is called before the probe(), which
for vtpm is tpm_ibmvtpm_probe, and it's this latter function that
initializes the driver and set data. Attempting to get data before
the probe() caused the problem.
This patch adds a NULL check to the tpm_ibmvtpm_get_desired_dma.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
