From: Archit Taneja architt@codeaurora.org
[ Upstream commit 9dcfbc182f1aac0aa5ea194733d21e67dd2ba1fd ]
The msm/kms driver should work even if there is no GPU device specified in DT. Currently, we get a NULL dereference crash in adreno_load_gpu since the driver assumes that priv->gpu_pdev is non-NULL.
Perform an additional check on priv->gpu_pdev before trying to retrieve the msm_gpu pointer from it.
v2: Incorporate Jordan's comments: - Simplify the check to share the same error message. - Use dev_err_once() to avoid an error message every time we open the drm device fd.
Fixes: eec874ce5ff1 (drm/msm/adreno: load gpu at probe/bind time)
