Queued to drm-misc-next with the following commit message:

"
drm/panthor: Don't return NULL from panthor_vm_get_heap_pool()

The kernel doc says this function returns either a valid pointer
or an ERR_PTR(), but in practice this function can return NULL if
create=false. Fix the function to match the doc (return
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of NULL) and adjust all call-sites
accordingly.
"

Thanks,

Boris
