[PATCH] PCI: imx6: Avoid dereferencing a NULL clock name

Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.imx,org.infradead.lists.linux-arm-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-pci,org.kernel.vger.stable
Message-ID <am8iBwJSEhYhWTqk@6cfee64030a6>
of_clk_bulk_get() leaves clk_bulk_data::id as NULL for every clock that
has no matching entry in "clock-names", which is legal: a node may list
more "clocks" phandles than it names. The extref scan dereferences that
id unconditionally, so such a node oopses during probe.

Check clk_bulk_data::id before dereferencing it.
