[PATCH v2 0/4] Improvement around mtk_vcodec_mem_free() logging and usage

Hi,

This series includes some improvements around mtk_vcodec_mem_free() in
mtk_vcodec_util.c.

I noticed that mtk_vcodec_mem_free() generates a spurious error if the
target DMA buffer has been freed previously:
  mtk_vcodec_mem_free(),69: [MTK_V4L2][ERROR] 18000000.video-codec
  dma_free size=0 failed!

The warning is harmless, but it brings some confusion to our developers
and testing infra, so I sent this series to fix that with some minor
improvement for the driver alongside.

The first two patches are for aesthetic and style improvements, the
third tries to make the error logs more informative, and the last adds
back the missing checks when calling the free function.

Regards,
Fei
