base/platform: Safe handling for NULL platform data and resources
Some users of platform_device_add_{data,resources}() assume that NULL data and resources will be handled specially, i.e. just ignored. But the platform core ends up calling kmemdup(NULL, 0, ...), which returns a non-NULL result (i.e. ZERO_SIZE_PTR), which causes drivers to oops on a valid code, something like: if (platform_data) stuff = platform_data->stuff; This patch makes the platform core a bit more safe for such cases.
