[PATCH] drm/amd/amdgpu/dm: Fix dm_dp_create_fake_mst_encoder()

From: Lyude Paul
Date: Thu Nov 01 2018 - 21:52:15 EST


[why]
Removing connector reusage from DM to match the rest of the tree ended
up revealing an issue that was surprisingly subtle. The original amdgpu
code for DC that was submitted appears to have left a chunk in
dm_dp_create_fake_mst_encoder() that tries to find a "master encoder",
the likes of which isn't actually used or stored anywhere. It does so at
the wrong time as well by trying to access parts of the drm_connector
from the encoder init before it's actually been initialized. This
results in a NULL pointer deref on MST hotplugs:

Somehow the connector reusage DM was using for MST connectors managed to
paper over this issue entirely; hence why this was never caught until
now.

[how]
Since this code isn't used anywhere and seems useless anyway, we can
just drop it entirely. This appears to fix the issue on my HP ZBook with
an AMD WX4150.
