[libcamera-devel] [PATCH] ipa: rpi: Fix segfault when parsing invalid json file

If the json file parsing failed due to a malformed file, the root
pointer would be null. This was not tested and caused a segfault when
trying to use the pointer to retrive the version key.

Fix this by bailing out early if the parser returns a null pointer.
