Hi Pratap,

I am opposed to this idea for multiple reasons:

1. *bo is an output parameter from isp_kernel_buffer_alloc(), so the input value
   should not matter.

2. The only correct value for *bo is NULL when isp_kernel_buffer_alloc() passes
   it to amdgpu_bo_create_kernel(). Since there is only one correct value, there
   is no reason to burden callers of isp_kernel_buffer_alloc() with intializing
   *bo to NULL.

3. This adds more code, another WARN_ON(), and another error case to
   isp_kernel_buffer_alloc(). All of that can be eliminated entirely by just
   initializing *bo to NULL in isp_kernel_buffer_alloc(), as I've done.

4. The reason *bo needs to be NULL is an implementation detail that is internal
   to isp_kernel_buffer_alloc(), because amdgpu_bo_create_kernel() needs it to
   be NULL in order to allocate a new buffer. isp_kernel_buffer_alloc() should
   handle its own internal implementation details instead of punting the
   responsibility onto callers.
