crashing in case no SATA driver is actually there:

Apalis iMX6 # sata init
data abort

reloc pc : [<1781be1a>]    lr : [<1781be1b>]

resetting ...

Investigating this I identified 3 places where no proper checking is
done.

This patch set adds such checks leading to a graceful error instead:

Apalis iMX6 # sata init
Cannot probe SATA device 0 (err=-19)

Changes in v2:
- Update dm_test_uclass_devices_find() to test this behaviour as
  suggested by Simon.
- Dropped "[PATCH 2/3] dm: sata: add null pointer check for dev" as
  suggested by Simon.
- Added Simon's reviewed-by.

Marcel Ziswiler (2):
  dm: device: fail uclass_find_first_device() if list_empty
  cmd: sata: add null pointer check for dev
