Subject: [PATCH] drm/imx: Fix error handling

'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()")
