We should be checking for IS_ERR() instead of NULL because
drm_dev_alloc() returns error pointers.

Fixes: 45d59d704080 ("drm: Add new driver for MXSFB controller")

Queued up in drm-misc for 4.11 (since drm_dev_alloc doesn't fail due to
the small allocs guarantee anyway), will show up in linux-next as soon as
-rc1 hits the door.

Thanks, Daniel
