si5341_probe() dereferences client->dev.of_node->name without first
checking that a device tree node is present. When the device is
instantiated without DT, e.g. via sysfs "new_device", client->dev.of_node
is NULL and probe crashes with a NULL pointer dereference.

Add an early check and return -ENODEV when no of_node is available, since
this driver requires device tree bindings.

This patch doesn't apply against linux-next. Otherwise the change looks
fine to me.
