[PATCH] The sun50i_iommu_of_xlate() function didn't properly handle the case where of_find_device_by_node() returns NULL. This could lead to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing platform_get_drvdata(iommu_pdev) if the device node couldn't be found.

Please look at how this op is called in of_iommu_xlate(), then at how
the ops are registered by sun50i_iommu_probe(), and then clarify how you
think the driver could ever be bound to a device which does not exist.
Thanks,
Robin.
