Currently panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() returns both ERR_PTR() and
NULL(when create is false and if there is no poool attached to the
VM)
- Change the function to return error pointers, when pool is
NULL return -ENOENT
- Also handle the callers to check for IS_ERR() on failure.

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 a lot for making the change!

Harshit

Thanks,

Boris

This is spotted by smatch and the patch is only compile tested

v1->v2: Fix the function panthor_vm_get_heap_pool() to only return error
pointers and handle the caller sites [Suggested by Boris Brezillon]
- Also merge these IS_ERR() vs NULL bugs into same patch

v2->v3: pull out error checking for devm_drm_dev_alloc() failure.
