    [POWERPC] pseries: Handle null iommu dma-window property correctly · 650f7b3b

    Some versions of pSeries firmware fail to set up a
    dma-window property for PCI slots that are unoccupied.
    As a result, the loop searching for this propery, in
    pci_dma_dev_setup_pSeriesLP(), can run to the end, resulting
    in a NULL pointer dereference later in the routine. This
    patch prevents the crash, and prints a warning message.
    
    This is theoretically a rare error, as it occurs on what
    is hopefully just beta levels of firmware. But just in case
    this firmware escapes into the wild, this patch will avoid
    the crash.
