Subject[PATCH 3.16 132/132] staging: comedi: dt282x: fix a null pointer deref on interrupt
3.16.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk>

commit b8336be66dec06bef518030a0df9847122053ec5 upstream.

The interrupt handler `dt282x_interrupt()` causes a null pointer
dereference for those supported boards that have no analog output
support. For these boards, `dev->write_subdev` will be `NULL` and
therefore the `s_ao` subdevice pointer variable will be `NULL`. In that
case, the following call near the end of the interrupt handler results
in a null pointer dereference:

cfc_handle_events(dev, s_ao);

[ Upstream equivalent:
comedi_handle_events(dev, s_ao);
-- IA ]

Fix it by only calling the above function if `s_ao` is valid.

(There are other uses of `s_ao` by the interrupt handler that may or may
not be reached depending on values of hardware registers. Trust that
they are reliable for now.)
