Subject: [PATCH 4.9 008/120] drm/tegra: dpaux: Fix error handling

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

commit 9376cad2073d2c122864754ea5f80025c8507b0b upstream.

The devm_pinctrl_register() function returns an error pointer or a valid
handle. So checking for NULL here is pointless and can never trigger.

Check the returned value with IS_ERR instead and propagate this value as
done in the other functions which call devm_pinctrl_register().

Fixes: 0751bb5c44fe ("drm/tegra: dpaux: Add pinctrl support")
