Contribution description

The SAUL interface exposes two sensors for humidity and temperature, while the internal dht driver exposes a single dht_read function with two pointers to store humidity and temperature results. The SAUL wrappers pass NULL for the value they're not interested in, but dht_read does not check for that and tries to store both values all the time, causing a segfault.

Testing procedure

The initial bug and its fix have been observed with a DHT11 on a Wemos D1 Mini with the saul shell command.

Thanks for finding and fixing, and welcome to the project 🎉

Would you mind updating the function documentation in drivers/include/dht.h to mention the option of passing NULL if not interested, and adding a call doing that to test/drivers/dht/main.c?
