When building with clang:

  drivers/gpu/drm/mediatek/mtk_drm_gem.c:255:10: error: incompatible integer to pointer conversion returning 'int' from a function with result type 'void *' [-Wint-conversion]
    255 |                 return -ENOMEM;
        |                        ^~~~~~~
  1 error generated.

GCC reports the same issue as a warning, rather than an error.

Prior to commit 7e542ff8b463 ("drm/mediatek: Use struct dma_buf_map in
GEM vmap ops"), this function returned a pointer rather than an integer.
This function is indirectly called in drm_gem_vmap(), which treats NULL
as -ENOMEM through an error pointer. Return NULL in this block to
resolve the warning but keep the same end result.
