From 166225e79ccc3d02c4c46e1b3c09d03eb91473ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivasan Shanmugam srinivasan.shanmugam@amd.com Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2024 20:58:35 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/display: Fix late derefrence 'dsc' check in 'link_set_dsc_pps_packet()'

In link_set_dsc_pps_packet(), 'struct display_stream_compressor *dsc' was dereferenced in a DC_LOGGER_INIT(dsc->ctx->logger); before the 'dsc' NULL pointer check.

Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/link/link_dpms.c:905 link_set_dsc_pps_packet() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dsc' (see line 903)
