check that the NFC_ATTR_FIRMWARE_NAME attributes are provided by the netlink client prior to accessing them.This prevents potential unhandled NULL pointer
dereference exceptions which can be triggered by malicious user-mode programs, if they omit one or both of these attributes. Just similar to commit <a0323b979f81>("nfc: Ensure presence of required attributes in the activate_target handler").
