[yocto] [PATCH][linux-yocto-3.0] drivers/misc/pch_phub.c: don't oops if dmi_get_system_info returns NULL

[Darren Hart]

Bruce,

Please apply to yocto/base. Fixes a boot issue for a
tunnel creek development board.

commit 2b934c6236983392d01bef22e43af3051cac16f5

If dmi_get_system_info() returns NULL, pch_phub_probe() will dereferencea
a zero pointer.

This oops was observed on an Atom based board which has no BIOS, but a
bootloder which doesn't privde DMI data.
