In case either transfer->tx_buf or transfer->rx_buf is NULL,
manipulation of buffer in spi_imx_u32_swap_u[8|16]() will cause
NULL pointer dereference crash.

Add buffer check at very beginning of spi_imx_u32_swap_u[8|16](),
to avoid such crash.

Hi, thanks for the patch.

But I think we missing something here. We return from a void function()
so the error keeps hidden. The root cause is calling this functions with a NULL pointer. See if you can fix this by find the caller and check if the parameter hand over are valid.

Cheers
Chris
