Subject: [PATCH] media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix a resource leak related to the
scp device in FW initialization

On Mediatek devices with a system companion processor (SCP) the mtk_scp structure has to be removed explicitly to avoid a resource leak. Free the structure in case the allocation of the firmware structure fails during the firmware initialization.

Fixes 53dbe0850444 ("media: mtk-vcodec: potential null pointer deference in SCP")
