Subject: power: bq2415x_charger: Properly handle ENODEV from
power_supply_get_by_phandle
commit 0eaf437aa14949d2230aeab7364f4ab47901304a upstream.
The power_supply_get_by_phandle() on error returns ENODEV or NULL.
The driver later expects obtained pointer to power supply to be
valid or NULL. If it is not NULL then it dereferences it in
bq2415x_notifier_call() which would lead to dereferencing ENODEV-value
pointer.
Properly handle the power_supply_get_by_phandle() error case by
replacing error value with NULL. This indicates that usb charger
detection won't be used.
Fix also memory leak of 'name' if power_supply_get_by_phandle() fails
with NULL and probe should defer.
