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.

+Configuring Git
+===============
+
+This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.
+
+Tagged branches used in pull requests (see
+Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst) should be signed with the
+developers public GPG key. Signed tags can be created by passing
+``-u <key-id>`` to ``git tag``. However, since you would *usually* use the same
+key for the project, you can set it in the configuration and use the ``-s``
+flag. To set the default ``key-id`` use::
+
+ git config user.signingkey "keyname"
+
+Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand::
+
+ [user]
+ name = Jane Developer
+ email = jd@domain.org
+ signingkey = jd@domain.org
+
+You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``::
+
+ [gpg]
+ program = /path/to/gpg2
+
+You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell
+rc file)::
+
+ export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
