pinctrl: core: make sure strcmp() doesn't get a null parameter [ Upstream commit 54a58185bfafb5af5045fb8388c45daa373f90f3 ] Some drivers, for example, QCOM's qdf2xxx, set groups[gpio].name only when gpio is valid, and leave invalid gpio names as null. If we want to access the sys node "pinconf-groups", pinctrl_get_group_selector() -> get_group_name() may return a null pointer if group_selector is invalid, then the below Kernel panic would happen since strcmp() uses this null pointer to do comparison.
