Thanks for explaining. I missed the case where create is false and there 
is no heap pool attached, so panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() can return NULL.

1878  *
1879  * Return: A valid pointer on success, an ERR_PTR() otherwise.
1880  */
1881 struct panthor_heap_pool *panthor_vm_get_heap_pool(struct 
panthor_vm *vm, bool create)

The documentation says it returns ERR_PTR() on failure, so is it worth 
doing something like:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/panthor/panthor_mmu.c 
b/drivers/gpu/drm/panthor/panthor_mmu.c
index fdd35249169f..e1285cdb09ff 100644

and change all callers of panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() to only check for 
IS_ERR() ?

Sure, I noticed one after the other. I will fix them together in v2.
