V4L/DVB (13953): firedtv: add missing NULL pointer check
If there is ever going to be a FireDTV or FloppyDTV firmware which does not provide a minimal ASCII textual descriptor for Model_Id --- or if the descriptor is provided indirectly in a descriptor directory --- the ieee1394 variant of the device probe of firedtv would dereference a NULL pointer. The firewire variant of firedtv's device probe is not affected. The fix makes sure that such an unexpected firmware is safely recognized by fdtv_alloc as an unknown firmware.
