PATCH 1/1 drm/amd/display: Check null pointers before using them

From: Alex Hung <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 1ff12bcd7deaeed25efb5120433c6a45dd5504a8 ]

[WHAT & HOW]
These pointers are null checked previously in the same function, indicating they might be null as reported by Coverity. As a result, they need to be checked when used again.

This fixes 3 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.

[ Backport to 6.6.y: kept the applicable dm_state and dc_link guards; the
vulnerable acrtc loop shape is absent. ]

Hi Greg, Sasha, and drm amd maintainers,

I am working through the small CVE backports still missing from 6.6.y. This one addresses CVE-2024-49922. It prevents the applicable HDCP path from dereferencing a NULL dc_link.

The fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y, and 7.2.y, but not in 6.6.y. This fix also affects 6.1.y, which will need a separate backport; this submission contains only the 6.6.y patch.
The target-specific adjustment is recorded in the bracketed note above.

Could you please queue it for 6.6.y?

CVE: CVE-2024-49922
Upstream: 1ff12bcd7deaeed25efb5120433c6a45dd5504a8

AI assistance: An LLM helped identify, adapt, and validate this backport; I reviewed the resulting code and validation evidence.

Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
