From 622c9a3a7868e1eeca39c55305ca3ebec4742b64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Stein alexander.stein@ew.tq-group.com Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2022 09:17:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: mxsfb: Fix NULL pointer dereference
mxsfb should not ever dereference the NULL pointer which drm_atomic_get_new_bridge_state is allowed to return. Assume a fixed format instead.
