of_match_device can return NULL if there is no matching device is found.
The patch avoids a potential NULL pointer dereference by checking for the
return value and passing the error upstream.

Applied to git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux.git
on nand/next with the title changed to

        mtd: rawnand: vf610: Avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference

and a space after the return statement.

Thanks,

For the record, this can't happen unless you have serious memory
corruption issues since you reached the ->probe() function (which means
a match was found before).
