4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <jo...@kernel.org>
commit 15e0c59f1535926a939d1df66d6edcf997d7c1b9 upstream.
Make sure to check the tty-device pointer before trying to access the
parent device to avoid dereferencing a NULL-pointer when the tty is one
end of a Unix98 pty.
Fixes: e097dc624f78 ("NFC: nfcmrvl: add UART driver")
