We intentionally ignored null dev and didn't return error here, since
MT8195 and MT8188 shares the same component list, there could be
components that are not probed and therefore is null here (For
example, the new hardware Padding in MT8188 only).

Thanks for the advice, submitted a new version using
mtk_ddp_comp_funcs.

Yes, we ignored the unknown type intentionally, but this part has been
removed in the new patch since 'switch' are all removed after re-using
mtk_ddp_comp_funcs.

Got it, has submitted a new version that returns the error immediately.
 
The reason we break here instead of returning error, is trying to make
one function only has one return. For example, always return at the end
of a function, so if someday we add a printk() at somewhere in that
function for debugging, it won't be skipped by the 'return' before it.
 
Not sure if this convention is not recommended when writing kernel
codes? Thanks.
