[PATCH] drm/sun4i: Fix error handling

Hi,

BTW, memory allocation in 'sun4i_layers_init()' looks spurious, 
especially the use of 'layer' in the for loop.
Just my 2 cents.


I also forgot to say that we could propagate the error code returned by 
sun4i_layers_init instead of returning -EINVAL unconditionally
