patch "staging: greybus: timesync: validate platform state callback" added to staging-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: greybus: timesync: validate platform state callback

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: staging: greybus: timesync: validate platform state callback

When tearingdown timesync, and not in arche platform, the state platform callback is not initialized. That will trigger the following NULL dereferencing.
CallTrace:

 ? process_one_work+0x3b0/0x3b0
 kthread+0xc4/0xe0
 ? kthread_park+0xb0/0xb0
 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

So, fix that by adding checks before use the callback.
