This NULL check was required when it was added, but we shuffled the code
around and now it's not. The inconsistent NULL checking triggers a
Smatch warning:
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/mdp5/mdp5_kms.c:847 mdp5_init() warn:
variable dereferenced before check 'mdp5_kms' (see line 782)
Fixes: 1f50db2f3e1e ("drm/msm/mdp5: move resource allocation to the _probe function"

v2: Added a Fixes tag. It's not really a bug fix and so adding the
fixes tag is slightly unfair but it should prevent this patch from
accidentally getting backported before the refactoring and causing an
issue.
Btw, fixes tags are often unfair like this. People look at fixes tags
and think, "the fix introduced a bug" but actually it's really common
that the fix was just not complete. But from a backporting perspective
it makes sense to tie them together.
Plus everyone introduces bugs. If you're not introducing bugs, then
you're probably not writing a lot of code.
