[media] media: ti-vpe: vpdma: Fix race condition for firmware loading
vpdma_create API is supposed to allocated the struct vpdma_data and return it to the driver. Also, it would call the callback function when the VPDMA firmware is loaded. Typically, VPE driver have following function call: dev->vpdma = vpdma_create(pdev, firmware_load_callback); And the callback implementation would continue the probe further. Also, the dev->vpdma is accessed from the callback implementation. This may lead to race condition between assignment of dev->vpdma and the callback function being triggered. This would lead to kernel crash because of NULL pointer access. Fix this by passing a driver wrapped &vpdma_data instead of allocating inside vpdma_create. Change the vpdma_create prototype accordingly and fix return paths. Also, update the VPE driver to use the updated API and initialize the dev->vpdma before hand so that the race condition is avoided.
