Hi, thanks, but there is already a similar fix in msm-next:

commit aa472721c8dbe1713cf510f56ffbc56ae9e14247

drm/msm/dpu: fix error return code in dpu_encoder_init

Fix to return negative error code -ENOMEM with the use of
ERR_PTR from dpu_encoder_init.

Fixes: 25fdd5933e4c ("drm/msm: Add SDM845 DPU support")
