Subject: [PATCH 3.16 042/136] media: omap_vout: Fix a possible null
 pointer dereference in omap_vout_open()

3.16.54-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

commit bfba2b3e21b9426c0f9aca00f3cad8631b2da170 upstream.

Move a debug message so that a null pointer access can not happen
for the variable "vout" in this function.

Fixes: 5c7ab6348e7b3fcca2b8ee548306c774472971e2 ("V4L/DVB: V4L2: Add support for OMAP2/3 V4L2 display driver on top of DSS2")
