The riscv_iommu_pte_fetch can return NULL when the provided iova is not
yet mapped, the caller should check if the returned pointer is NULL or
not, but riscv_iommu_iova_to_phys missed this, which will then lead to
a kernel panic.
Check the pointer before using it to avoid the bug. Now, when
iova_to_phys is called with an unmapped iova, the kernel will not crash
here.

…> Check the pointer before using it to avoid the bug. … Would a summary phrase like “Prevent null pointer dereference in riscv_iommu_iova_to_phys()” be also helpful? Regards, Markus
Sure, 'prevent' is much appropriate than 'check' here... Prevent null pointer dereference in riscv_iommu_iova_to_phys(). Now, when it's called with an unmapped iova, the kernel will not crash here.
> Sure, 'prevent' is much appropriate than 'check' here... I propose to reconsider also different effects from your wording approaches according to the summary phrase and more detailed change description. Regards, Markus
