[PATCH v2] drm/mediatek: Initialize pointer to avoid undefined behavior

[Karan Sanghavi <karansanghvi98@gmail.com>]

Initialize the `next` pointer with NULL as the function
`mtk_drm_of_get_ddp_ep_cid` might return early without assigning a
value to `next`.

Dereferencing an uninitialized pointer can lead to undefined behavior,
as it might point to an invalid memory location.

Coverity CID: 1601557

Fixes: 4c932840db1d ("drm/mediatek: Implement OF graphs support for display paths")
