Sudeep Holla 6ed6c55823 firmware: arm_scmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mailbox_chan_free 
scmi_mailbox is obtained from cinfo->transport_info and the first
call to mailbox_chan_free frees the channel and sets cinfo->transport_info
to NULL. Care is taken to check for non NULL smbox->chan but smbox can
itself be NULL. Fix it by checking for it without which, kernel crashes
with below NULL pointer dereference and eventually kernel panic.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
