Anton Vorontsov 5cfc64ceb6 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.
