of_device_get_match_data returns NULL when no match.
So add the NULL pointer check to avoid dereference.

Shouldn't you set ret to -ENODEV here?

To get this you (the SDHCI driver developer) needs to add an entry in
sdhci_msm_dt_match[] without a .data specified.

> +		goto pltfm_free;

And this will cause sdhci_msm_probe() to return 0, giving no hint to
said developer that they screwed up. Given that this can only be caused
by a developer working on this driver you should provide feedback
suitable for such developer, e.g. by:

	if (WARN_ON(!var_info))
		return -EINVAL;

But given that this is only for the developer himself, I don't see that
this adds any value over just reading the callstack you get from the
panic when the next line dereferences var_info (NULL).
