drm/mediatek: Add missing IS_ERR check for ovl_adaptor platform devicegrafted

platform_device_register_data() can fail and return an ERR_PTR, but the
return value is used without checking, leading to an invalid pointer
being stored in ddp_comp[].dev and passed to component_match_add() and
mtk_ddp_comp_init(), which could result in a kernel crash.

Add an IS_ERR() check to jump to the error handling path on failure.

+Explaining the "No working init found." boot hang message
+=========================================================

+
+This document provides some high-level reasons for failure
+(listed roughly in order of execution) to load the init binary.
+
+1) **Unable to mount root FS**: Set "debug" kernel parameter (in bootloader
+   config file or CONFIG_CMDLINE) to get more detailed kernel messages.
+
+2) **init binary doesn't exist on rootfs**: Make sure you have the correct
+   root FS type (and ``root=`` kernel parameter points to the correct
+   partition), required drivers such as storage hardware (such as SCSI or
+   USB!) and filesystem (ext3, jffs2, etc.) are builtin (alternatively as
+   modules, to be pre-loaded by an initrd).
+
+3) **Broken console device**: Possibly a conflict in ``console= setup``
+   --> initial console unavailable. E.g. some serial consoles are unreliable
+   due to serial IRQ issues (e.g. missing interrupt-based configuration).
+   Try using a different ``console= device`` or e.g. ``netconsole=``.
+
+4) **Binary exists but dependencies not available**: E.g. required library
+   dependencies of the init binary such as ``/lib/ld-linux.so.2`` missing or
+   broken. Use ``readelf -d <INIT>|grep NEEDED`` to find out which libraries
+   are required.
+
+5) **Binary cannot be loaded**: Make sure the binary's architecture matches
+   your hardware. E.g. i386 vs. x86_64 mismatch, or trying to load x86 on ARM
+   hardware. In case you tried loading a non-binary file here (shell script?),
+   you should make sure that the script specifies an interpreter in its
+   shebang header line (``#!/...``) that is fully working (including its
+   library dependencies). And before tackling scripts, better first test a
+   simple non-script binary such as ``/bin/sh`` and confirm its successful
+   execution. To find out more, add code ``to init/main.c`` to display
+   kernel_execve()s return values.
+
+Please extend this explanation whenever you find new failure causes
+(after all loading the init binary is a CRITICAL and hard transition step
+which needs to be made as painless as possible), then submit a patch to LKML.
+Further TODOs:
+
+- Implement the various ``run_init_process()`` invocations via a struct array
+  which can then store the ``kernel_execve()`` result value and on failure
+  log it all by iterating over **all** results (very important usability fix).
+- Try to make the implementation itself more helpful in general, e.g. by
+  providing additional error messages at affected places.
