Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mst: Fix NULL pointer dereference at drm_dp_add_payload_part2
[Why]
Commit:
- commit 5aa1dfcdf0a4 ("drm/mst: Refactor the flow for payload allocation/removement")
accidently overwrite the commit
- commit 54d217406afe ("drm: use mgr->dev in drm_dbg_kms in drm_dp_add_payload_part2")
which cause regression.
[How]
Recover the original NULL fix and remove the unnecessary input parameter 'state' for
drm_dp_add_payload_part2().
(cherry picked from commit 4545614c1d8da603e57b60dd66224d81b6ffc305)
