[PATCH] [media] atmel_isi: allocate memory to store the isi platform data.

This patch fix the bug: ISI driver's platform data became invalid when isi platform data's attribution is __initdata.

If the isi platform data is passed as __initdata. Then we need store it in driver allocated memory. otherwise when we use it out of the probe() function, then the isi platform data is invalid.

Not needed if you use devm_kzalloc().  See below.

It is more idiomatic to use sizeof(*isi->pdata) in kzalloc() and memcpy() calls
to be resilient to future type changes.

You may also want to use dev_kzalloc() which frees memory automagically on
driver detach.
