Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for clk_mgr in dcn32_init_hw
This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the
`dcn32_init_hw` function. The issue could occur when `dc->clk_mgr` is
null.
The fix adds a check to ensure `dc->clk_mgr` is not null before
accessing its functions. This prevents a potential null pointer
dereference.
