Patch Review

**Correctness: The fix itself is correct.**

The change from:
```c
if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR(args)))
    return PTR_ERR(args);
```
to:
```c
if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR_OR_NULL(args)))
    return args ? PTR_ERR(args) : -EIO;
```

correctly mirrors the pattern established by `nvkm_gsp_rm_alloc()` in `gsp.=
h:418-419`:
```c
if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(argv))
    return argv ? PTR_ERR(argv) : -EIO;
```

**Issue 1 (Medium): Incomplete fix =E2=80=94 same bug in ce.c, nvdec.c, nvj=
pg.c, and r570/ofa.c**

The patch only fixes `r535/nvenc.c` and `r535/ofa.c`, but the exact same `I=
S_ERR()`-only pattern exists in:
- `r535/ce.c:34` =E2=80=94 `if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR(args)))` / `return PTR_ERR(a=
rgs);`
- `r535/nvdec.c:33` =E2=80=94 identical pattern
- `r535/nvjpg.c:33` =E2=80=94 identical pattern
- `r570/ofa.c:16` =E2=80=94 identical pattern

Additionally, `r535/fifo.c:88` and `r535/device.c:70,124` have the same pat=
tern with `nvkm_gsp_rm_alloc_get()` calls guarded only by `IS_ERR()`. If th=
e fix is warranted for nvenc/ofa, it should be applied to all callers for c=
onsistency and to avoid the same class of bug.

**Issue 2 (Nit): Subject line says "ofs" =E2=80=94 should be "ofa"**

The subject line reads `fix NULL pointer dereference in r535 nvenc/ofs allo=
c` but the file being fixed is `ofa.c` (Optical Flow Accelerator). This app=
ears to be a typo: "ofs" should be "ofa".

**Issue 3 (Minor): Choice of `-EIO` for the NULL case**

Using `-EIO` for the NULL return matches the existing `nvkm_gsp_rm_alloc()`=
 convention, so this is consistent. However, `-ENOMEM` might be more semant=
ically appropriate since a NULL return from the underlying RPC get function=
 likely means memory allocation failed. That said, since the existing conve=
ntion uses `-EIO`, keeping it consistent is fine.

**Summary:** The fix is correct in what it does, but should be expanded to =
cover all callers of `nvkm_gsp_rm_alloc_get()` that have the same `IS_ERR()=
`-only check. The subject line typo ("ofs" =E2=86=92 "ofa") should also be =
corrected.
