Florian reported the following kernel NULL pointer dereference issue on
a BCM7250 board:

The issue only happens when dma mode is disabled or not supported on STB
chip. The pio mode transfer calls brcmnand_read_data_bus function which
dereferences ctrl->soc->read_data_bus. But the soc member in STB chip is
NULL hence triggers the access violation. The function needs to check
the soc pointer first.

Fixes: 546e425 ("mtd: rawnand: brcmnand: Add BCMBCA read data bus interface")
