[PATCH] The sun50i_iommu_of_xlate() function didn't properly handle the case where of_find_device_by_node() returns NULL. This could lead to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing platform_get_drvdata(iommu_pdev) if the device node couldn't be found.

Add a WARN_ON() check to detect this condition and return -ENODEV when it
occurs. This ensures proper error handling and helps diagnose incorrect
device tree configurations at runtime.

Please look at how this op is called in of_iommu_xlate(), then at how 
the ops are registered by sun50i_iommu_probe(), and then clarify how you 
think the driver could ever be bound to a device which does not exist.

Thanks,
Robin.

[Joerg Roedel]

The subject line is too long, use something short which describes WHAT
the patch does. The WHY can be placed into the commit message.

Thanks,
