The vchiq_state used to be obtained through an accessor which would
validate that the VCHIQ had been initialised correctly with the remote,
or return a null state.
In commit 42a2f6664e18 ("staging: vc04_services: Move global g_state to
vchiq_state") the global state was moved to the vchiq_mgnt structures
stored as a vchiq instance specific context. This conversion removed the
helpers and instead replaced users of this helper with the assumption
that the state is always available and the remote connected.
The conversion does ensure that the state is always available, so some
remaining state null pointer checks that remain are unnecessary, but the
assumption that the remote is present and initialised is incorrect.
Fix this broken assumption by re-introducing the logic that was lost
during the conversion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
