OMAP4 checks are removed from VENC to provide it a cleaner interface. These

"OMAPDSS: VENC: fix NULL pointer dereference in DSS2 VENC sysfs debug attr on
OMAP4" (cc1d3e032d)  by Danny Kukawka [off-list ref] to prevent VENC
from crashing OMAP4 kernel. An alternative approach is used to do the same in
later patches.

in later patches ? This means you're causing a regression here. Just
swap the patches around to avoid it.
