OK, I think this should be stated in the commit log, and also in the code
(see below).

E.g., either add a comment here or perhaps change the error message to:

"ap_inst_addr is NULL, did the SCP hang?"

Or something along those lines.

Shouldn't there be a \n at the end of this message as well? Or does
mtk_v4l2_err add that?
