Subject: [PATCH 4.10 127/129] drm: mxsfb: drm_dev_alloc() returns error pointers

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit e89e50ac35d9126907a436dabe70f9a8311b9981 upstream.

We should be checking for IS_ERR() instead of NULL because
drm_dev_alloc() returns error pointers.

Fixes: 45d59d704080 ("drm: Add new driver for MXSFB controller")
