media: meson: vdec: fix NULL pointer deref in vdec_try_fmt_common

Browse source

When VIDIOC_TRY_FMT is called with an unsupported pixel format on the
OUTPUT queue, vdec_try_fmt_common() falls back to V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2.
However, if a distro has locally patched MPEG2 support out (as it has
been broken for some time) the platform format table does not contain
MPEG2 so find_format() returns NULL and the subsequent dereference of
fmt_out->max_width triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

Fix this by falling back to the first format in the platform's format
array instead of hardcoding V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2. This is always valid
since every platform defines at least one format.
