Florian reported the following kernel NULL pointer dereference issue on
a BCM7250 board:
[ 2.829744] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c when read
[ 2.838740] [0000000c] *pgd=80000000004003, *pmd=00000000
[ 2.844178] Internal error: Oops: 206 [#1] SMP ARM

The issue only happens when dma mode is disabled or not supported on STB
chip. The pio mode transfer calls brcmnand_read_data_bus function which
dereferences ctrl->soc->read_data_bus. But the soc member in STB chip is
NULL hence triggers the access violation. The function needs to check
the soc pointer first.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
