ipmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ssif_probe
There is a potential execution path in which function ssif_info_find() returns NULL, hence there is a NULL pointer dereference when accessing pointer *addr_info* Fix this by null checking *addr_info* before dereferencing it. Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1473145 ("Explicit null dereferenced") Fixes: e333054a91d1 ("ipmi: Fix I2C client removal in the SSIF driver") Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
