The drm_atomic_get_crtc_state() function never returns NULL, it returns
error pointers.  Update the error checking to match.

Looking at where this gets called, that should be
drm_atomic_get_new_crtc_state(). Either that or the
code is more seriously borked.

I'll send out a patch that warns about invalid use of 
*_get_state()...

I can't comment on that.  Let's drop this patch and instead (probably
I guess?) change it to drm_atomic_get_new_crtc_state().
