As a result, the loop searching for this propery, in pci_dma_dev_setup_pSeriesLP(), can run to the end, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference later in the routine. This patch prevents the crash, and prints a warning message. This is theoretically a rare error, as it occurs on what is hopefully just beta levels of firmware. But just in case this firmware escapes into the wild, this patch will avoid the crash.
