As warned by smatch:
	drivers/media/platform/pxa_camera.c:2400 pxa_camera_probe() error: we previously assumed 'pcdev->pdata' could be null (see line 2397)

It would be possible that neither DT nor platform data would be
provided. This is a Kernel bug, so warn about that and bail.

This fixes the issue, but the current checks remain a bit odd.

The driver seems to prefer platform data over OF. I wonder if that's
intentional or not.

In that case, I'd roughly write this as:

if (pcdev->pdata) {
	...;
} else if (pdev->dev.of_node) {
	...;
} else {
	return -ENODEV;
}

I'm not sure WARN_ON(1) is necessary. A lot of drivers simply do it this
way without WARN_ON().
