In altr_s10_sdram_check_ecc_deps(), of_get_address() may return NULL which
is later dereferenced. Fix this bug by adding NULL check.

Only of_get_address() has been mentioned here but the patch also tries to
fix a possible NULL pointer dereference arising from of_translate_address().
Also, a some context on how this was discovered might be helpful.

Will sdram_addr here ever be NULL?
IIUC, of_translate_address() will return OF_BAD_ADDR in case the translation fails.
Perhaps, a more prudent check here, if required, would be
if (sdram_addr == OF_BAD_ADDR)
