The pointer `func` is dereferenced before NULL check.
Move the dereference after the NULL check.
This issue was reported by Coverity Scan.
Report:
CID 1600802: (#1 of 1): Dereference before null check
(REVERSE_INULL)
check_after_deref: Null-checking func suggests that it
may be null, but it has already been dereferenced on all
paths leading to the check.
Fixes: 1fc30cd92770 ("pinctrl: th1520: Factor out casts")

Change log looks fine.
Short log that clearly says it is a fix would be better:
Fix potential null pointer defereference

Otherwise looks good to me. With the change to short log:
