#1512763 — [PATCH] drm/imx: Fix error handling

FromChristophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>
Date2016-10-31 19:10 +0100
Subject[PATCH] drm/imx: Fix error handling
Message-ID<sypbX-5T4-19@gated-at.bofh.it>
'drm_dev_alloc()' returns an error pointer in case of error, not NULL
So test it with IS_ERR.

This behavior has been introduced recently in	0f2886057be3. For some
reason, this file has not been updated.

Fixes: 0f2886057be3 ("drm: Don't swallow error codes in drm_dev_alloc()")

Thank you for the patch. The same fix is in the queue already:
8cca354816ad ("drm/imx: drm_dev_alloc() returns error pointers"). Only
Dan selected commit 54db5decce17 ("drm/imx: drop deprecated load/unload
drm_driver ops") as the culprit.

regards
Philipp
