Fix a potential NULL pointer exception when meson_drv_unbind()
attempts to operate on the driver_data priv which may be NULL.
Add a null pointer check on the priv struct to avoid the NULL
pointer dereference after calling dev_get_drvdata(), just like
the null pointer checks done on the struct priv in the function
meson_drv_shutdown(), meson_drv_pm_suspend() and meson_drv_pm_resume().

Hello,

first of all: thanks for your patch and sorry for being late with my
review question.

I am trying to review Amlogic Meson related patches in the DRM
subsystem so I can help Neil with this.
However, I am still new to this so please help me educate on this topic.

My understanding of the component framework is that meson_drv_unbind()
is only called if previously meson_drv_bind() was called (and did not
return any error).
This is different from meson_drv_shutdown() (for example) because that
can be called if meson_drv_probe() returns 0 (success) in case the
"count" variable was 0 (then the probe function does nothing).

As I mentioned before: I am still learning about the DRM subsystem in
the Linux kernel.
So it would be great if you could help me understand for which
scenarios this newly added if-condition is needed.


Thank you!
Best regards,
Martin
