From bce7698e2e6565bb765bd0522337f29f5f312624 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haojie Li Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:08:45 +0800 Subject: drm/mediatek: Add missing IS_ERR check for ovl_adaptor platform device 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.
