    Call Trace:
     <TASK>
     ts2020_probe+0xad/0xe10 [ts2020]
     i2c_device_probe+0x421/0xb40
     really_probe+0x266/0x850
    ...

The cause of the problem is that when using sysfs to dynamically register
an i2c device, there is no platform data, but the probe process of ts2020
needs to use platform data, resulting in a null pointer being accessed.

Solve this problem by adding checks to platform data.
