I ran coccicheck on a 4.14.74 stable kernel and noticed that 'res' can be
NULL in vpfe_ipipe_init. It looks like this patch is not included in the 4.14
stable series. Can this patch be applied? I applied it myself and it applies
cleanly, but I have no way to test it.

That 'res->start' error_release could end up a NULL pointer deref.
