Subject: regmap: fix NULL pointer dereference in _regmap_write/read

commit 5336be8416a71b5568d2cf54a2f2066abe9f2a53 upstream.

If LOG_DEVICE is defined and map->dev is NULL it will lead to NULL
pointer dereference. This patch fixes this issue by adding check for
dev->NULL in all such places in regmap.c
