[PATCH] drm/mediatek: Initialize pointer before use to avoid undefiend behaviour

Initialize the pointer with NULL as mtk_drm_of_get_ddp_ep_cid
function might return before assigning value to next pointer
but yet further dereference to next can lead to some undefined
behavior as it may point to some invalid location.
