Hmmm. I guess the original author of the code (which wasn't me--I just
restored the code that was deleted by a previous change) was assuming
that if mdp0-mem had a problem that mdp1-mem would also have a
problem. That would mean that you wouldn't need to call icc_put() on
it.

...and, in fact, your patch doesn't handle that case, does it? If
_both_ of the two are error or NULL then you'll be calling icc_put()
on something invalid. I guess icc_put() handles those cases without
crashing but it will give a WARN_ON() splat if it happens to be an
error...

Really, there's a better solution anyway. Instead, you should do:

path0 = of_icc_get(dev, "mdp0-mem");
if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(path0))
  return PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(path0);

msm_mdss->path[0] = path0;
msm_mdss->num_paths = 1;

path1 = of_icc_get(dev, "mdp1-mem");
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(path1)) {
 ...
}

In other words just defer getting path1 until after you've checked
path0 for an error.
