I would prefer to have these kind of checks where it actually matters
(ie. in __read_panel_data()). The saner thing would be to move the
dereference until after the check and remove the duplicated check from
mdfld_dsi_read_mcs(). That would prevent any further need for adding
additional checks whenever calling __read_panel_data().
