[ Upstream commit d3968a0d85b211e197f2f4f06268a7031079e0d0 ]

vidi_connection_ioctl() retrieves the driver_data from drm_dev->dev to
obtain a struct vidi_context pointer. However, drm_dev->dev is the
exynos-drm master device, and the driver_data contained therein is not
the vidi component device, but a completely different device.

This can lead to various bugs, ranging from null pointer dereferences and
garbage value accesses to, in unlucky cases, out-of-bounds errors,
use-after-free errors, and more.

To resolve this issue, we need to store/delete the vidi device pointer in
exynos_drm_private->vidi_dev during bind/unbind, and then read this
exynos_drm_private->vidi_dev within ioctl() to obtain the correct
struct vidi_context pointer.
