With a check here, even a non-functional one, there's no need to understand the internals of `imx_media_find_mbus_format` that are only implicit. That makes the code less surprising when interested only in the outer function. The other advantage of a check is becoming robust against future changes to `imx_media_find_mbus_format` itself. I don't have a strong preference about keeping or leaving this patch, but if this check was there in the first place, I wouldn't have spent time trying to figure out whether there's a bug here.
