Currently rdev is dereferenced when assigning desc before rdev is null
checked, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference on rdev.
Fix this by null checking rdev first.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1476031 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 77e3e3b165db ("regulator: axp20x: add software based soft_start for AXP209 LDO3")

Forgot to add in another fix, I'll send a V2.
