Fix by setting ret instead of returning.

I just realized that the next line here can mask ret.


if (import_attach)
ret = dma_buf_end_cpu_access(import_attach->dmabuf,
DMA_FROM_DEVICE);

So, we should either ignore the return value from dma_buf_end_cpu_access() always or add some logic to ignore it if ret is already an error.

In some of the other patches I have been sending, we have the same situation. I those, I have opted to just ignore the return value from dma_buf_end_cpu_access(). e.g...


if (import_attach)
dma_buf_end_cpu_access(import_attach->dmabuf, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);

Is this a reasonable thing to do?

mipi_dbi_buf_copy() can be used by other rgb565 controllers, hence
the format check I think. So when that happens, it can be moved to
tinydrm-helpers.

Currently it's not possible to get an illegal format, since mipi-dbi
only supports those two formats.
Userspace can't set an illegal format, beacuse it's checked:
drm_atomic_commit -> drm_atomic_check_only -> drm_atomic_plane_check ->
drm_plane_check_pixel_format

So I think we can just leave this alone, or put the check before
import_attach if you really want to put this straight.
