  fw_getenv will use env entry to determine style of env,
however it is legal for firmware to just pass a empty list.

Check if first entry exist before running strchr to avoid
null pointer dereference.

Note: Fixes tag is intentionally omitted for this patch, although
the booting issue only comes in 6.1, the logic issue is been since very start.
