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.

The :ref:`second part <dvbapi>` covers the API used for digital TV and + Internet reception via one of the several digital tv standards. While it is + called as DVB API, in fact it covers several different video standards + including DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-C, ATSC, ISDB-T, ISDB-S, DTMB, etc. The + complete list of supported standards can be found at + :c:type:`fe_delivery_system`. + +3.
