Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] media: mtk-vcodec: potential null pointer deference in SCP

From: Fullway Wang <fullwaywang@...look.com>

[ Upstream commit 53dbe08504442dc7ba4865c09b3bbf5fe849681b ]

The return value of devm_kzalloc() needs to be checked to avoid
NULL pointer deference. This is similar to CVE-2022-3113.
