Subject: [PATCH] drm/dp_mst: Avoid NULL pointer dereference




[Why]

Found kernel NULL pointer dereference under the below situation:



        src — HDMI_Monitor   src — HDMI_Monitor

e.g.:       \            =>

             MSTB — MSTB     (unplug) MSTB — MSTB



When display 1 HDMI and 2 DP daisy chain monitors, unplugging the dp

cable connected to source causes kernel NULL pointer dereference at

drm_dp_mst_atomic_check_bw_limit(). When calculating pbn_limit, if

branch is null, accessing "&branch->ports" causes the problem.



[How]

Judge branch is null or not at the beginning. If it is null, return 0.
