[lvc-project] [PATCH] platform/x86: panasonic-laptop: fix NULL dereference

When initializing the pcc by calling acpi_driver_data(), the "device"
pointer was dereferenced without checking for NULL. This seems like
a logical mistake.

Added a pointer check to ensure that it is valid
before using it for pcc initialization.

Found by Security Code and Linux Verification Center(linuxtesting.org)

Fixes: 709ee531c153 ("panasonic-laptop: add Panasonic Let's Note laptop extras driver v0.94")
