Subject: drm/tegra: dpaux: Fix error handling

From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

commit 9376cad2073d2c122864754ea5f80025c8507b0b upstream.

The devm_pinctrl_register() function returns an error pointer or a valid
handle. So checking for NULL here is pointless and can never trigger.

Check the returned value with IS_ERR instead and propagate this value as
done in the other functions which call devm_pinctrl_register().
