[PATCH 13/14] arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx: Move dereference after NULLtest

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

If the NULL test on buf is needed, then the dereference should be after the
NULL test.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
