RE: [RESEND v3 2/3] media: qcom: venus: Fix uninitialized variable warning

Hi, Bryan O'Donoghue.

I received feedback from Hans with detailed information about this error.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/a962e94f-a669-40e1-8b28-9ef077cf69be@xs4all.nl/

And, you may face the following error message using the smatch and the sparse test.
"find_format_by_index() error: uninitialized symbol 'valid'."

"make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-linux-gnu- -j8 M=drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus C=2 CHECK=smatch"

Or, linux-kernel build with "-Wmaybe-uninitialized" gcc option.
"make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-linux-gnu- -j8 M=drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus KCFLAGS="-Wmaybe-uninitialized"
