When main component is not probed, by example when the dw-hdmi module is
not loaded yet or in probe defer, the following crash appears on shutdown:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000038
...
pc : meson_drv_shutdown+0x24/0x50
lr : platform_drv_shutdown+0x20/0x30
...
Call trace:
meson_drv_shutdown+0x24/0x50
platform_drv_shutdown+0x20/0x30
device_shutdown+0x158/0x360
kernel_restart_prepare+0x38/0x48
kernel_restart+0x18/0x68
__do_sys_reboot+0x224/0x250
__arm64_sys_reboot+0x24/0x30
...

Simply check if the priv struct has been allocated before using it.
