Subject: [PATCH 4.9 154/271] drm/msm/mdp5: Fix mdp5_cfg_init error return

From: Jeffrey Hugo <jeffrey.l.hugo@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit fc19cbb785d7bbd1a1af26229b5240a3ab332744 ]

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.
