PCI: j721e: Initialize pcie->cdns_pcie before using it
Christian reported a NULL pointer dereference in j721e_pcie_probe() caused
by 19e8638 ("PCI: j721e: Drop redundant struct device *"), which
removed struct j721e_pcie.dev since there's another copy in struct
cdns_pcie.dev reachable via j721e_pcie->cdns_pcie->dev.
The problem is that j721e_pcie->cdns_pcie was dereferenced before being
initialized:
j721e_pcie_probe
pcie = devm_kzalloc() # struct j721e_pcie
j721e_pcie_ctrl_init(pcie)
dev = pcie->cdns_pcie->dev <-- dereference cdns_pcie
switch (mode) {
case PCI_MODE_RC:
cdns_pcie = ... # alloc as part of pci_host_bridge
pcie->cdns_pcie = cdns_pcie <-- initialize pcie->cdns_pcie
Move the cdns_pcie initialization earlier so it is done before it is used.
This also simplifies the error exits.
