Subject: tty: serial: vt8500: fix return value check in vt8500_serial_probe()
From: Wei Yongjun <[email protected]>
commit a6dd114e16cbc4410049a90a8a67b967333d108d upstream.
In case of error, function of_clk_get() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value
check should be replaced with IS_ERR().
