[PATCH] firmware: arm_ffa: Fix NULL dereference in ffa_partition_info_get()

[Unnathi Chalicheemala]

ffa_partition_info_get() passes uuid_str directly to uuid_parse()
without a NULL check. When a caller passes NULL (or an empty string),
uuid_parse() → __uuid_parse() → uuid_is_valid() dereferences the
pointer, causing a kernel panic:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
0000000000000040
pc : uuid_parse+0x40/0xac
lr : ffa_partition_info_get+0x1c/0x94 [arm_ffa]

Per the FF-A spec, the all-zeros UUID is the defined wildcard that
instructs the SPMC to return information for all partitions. Map NULL
and empty string to uuid_null rather than crashing in uuid_parse(),
preserving the intended "return all partitions" semantics for callers
that pass NULL.
