If of_property_read_string() fails, comp_str will be uninitialized,
causing crashes:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000009f
...
PC is at strcmp+0xc/0x40
LR is at m25p_probe+0x410/0xa04

and

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
...
PC is at strcmp+0xc/0x40
LR is at m25p_probe+0x6f4/0xa0c

Introduced by "mtd: xilinx: merge nand flash support from xilinx
repository" ([ltsi-kernel.git] / patches.zynq /
0007-mtd-xilinx-merge-nand-flash-support-from-xilinx-repo.patch)

BTW, are you aware
0007-mtd-xilinx-merge-nand-flash-support-from-xilinx-repo.patch
is not in mainline?
