Subject: [PATCH] drm/msm/mdp5: Fix mdp5_cfg_init error return

If mdp5_cfg_init fails because of an unknown major version, a null pointer
dereference occurs.  This is because the caller of init expects error
pointers, but init returns NULL on error.  Fix this by returning the
expected values on error.
