Subject: [PATCH 5.14 162/334] media: venus: venc: Fix potential null pointer dereference on pointer fmt

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

[ Upstream commit 09ea9719a423fc675d40dd05407165e161ea0c48 ]

Currently the call to find_format can potentially return a NULL to
fmt and the nullpointer is later dereferenced on the assignment of
pixmp->num_planes = fmt->num_planes.  Fix this by adding a NULL pointer
check and returning NULL for the failure case.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
