media: staging/imx: remove confusing IS_ERR_OR_NULL usage
While looking at a compiler warning, I noticed the use of IS_ERR_OR_NULL, which is generally a sign of a bad API design and should be avoided. In this driver, this is fairly easy, we can simply stop storing error pointers in persistent structures, and change the two functions that might return either a NULL pointer or an error code to consistently return error pointers when failing. of_parse_subdev() now separates the error code and the pointer it looks up, to clarify the interface. There are two cases where this function originally returns 'NULL', and I have changed that to '0' for success to keep the current behavior, though returning an error would also make sense there.
