rtc: Fix possible null pointer dereference in rtc-mpc5121.c
Mark Loard pointed out:
"For example, this beauty from rtc-mpc5121.c in the same update:
...
rtc->rtc = rtc_device_register("mpc5200-rtc", &op->dev,
&mpc5200_rtc_ops, THIS_MODULE);
...
rtc->rtc->uie_unsupported = 1; // <<<< Ooops NULL pointer >>>>
if (IS_ERR(rtc->rtc)) { // <<<< this needs to be earlier >>>>
err = PTR_ERR(rtc->rtc);
goto out_free_irq;
}
..."
This patch moves setting the uie_unsupported flag to after we validate
the rtc->rtc pointer to resolve this.
