Reordering the ipu_get_resources and imx_drm_add_crtc calls should resolve this:

From: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel at pengutronix.de>
Subject: [PATCH] staging: imx/drm: add crtc before registering interrupt
 handler

If the bootloader already enabled the display, the interrupt handler
will be called as soon as it is registered. If the CRTC is not already
added at this time, the call to imx_drm_handle_vblank will result in
a NULL pointer dereference.
