Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] staging: media: tegra-video: fix chan->mipi value on error

From: Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@...tlin.com>

chan->mipi takes the return value of tegra_mipi_request() which can be a
valid pointer or an error. However chan->mipi is checked in several places,
including error-cleanup code in tegra_csi_channels_cleanup(), as 'if
(chan->mipi)', which suggests the initial intent was that chan->mipi should
be either NULL or a valid pointer, never an error. As a consequence,
cleanup code in case of tegra_mipi_request() errors would dereference an
invalid pointer.

Fix by ensuring chan->mipi always contains either NULL or a void pointer.

Also add that to the documentation.
