[ Upstream commit f1d71576d2c9ec8fdb822173fa7f3de79475e9bd ]
When the generic SCMI code tears down a channel, it calls the chan_free callback function, defined by each transport. Since multiple protocols might share the same transport_info member, chan_free() might want to clean up the same member multiple times within the given SCMI transport implementation. In this case, it is SMC transport. This will lead to a NULL pointer dereference at the second time:

Simply check for the struct pointer being NULL before trying to access its members, to avoid this situation.
This was found when a transport doesn't really work (for instance no SMC service), the probe routines then tries to clean up, and triggers a crash.
