Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/mediatek: Fix NULL pointer dereference when printing dev_name

When larbdev is NULL (in the case I hit, the node is incorrectly set iommus = <&iommu NUM>), it will cause device_link_add() fail and kernel crashes when we try to print dev_name(larbdev).

Let's fail the probe if a larbdev is NULL to avoid invalid inputs from dts.

It should work for normal correct setting and avoid the crash caused by my incorrect setting.
