[PATCH V2] drm/tegra: fix a possible null pointer dereference
Posted by Huai-Yuan Liu 1 year, 6 months ago
In malidp_tegra_crtc_reset, new memory is allocated with kzalloc, but
no check is performed. Before calling __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset,
mw_state should be checked to prevent possible null pointer dereference.

Fixes: b7e0b04ae450 ("drm/tegra: Convert to using __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset() for reset.")

V2:
* In patch V2, we call __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset(crtc, NULL) when
state is null.
  Thanks to Thierry Reding for helpful suggestion.

The commit message here still references variables that don't exist in
this driver. Looks like copy/paste leftovers from a similar patch?
