[PATCH] drm/plane: fix error handling in __drm_universal_plane_init

From: Dinghao Liu
Date: Wed Dec 06 2023 - 02:45:36 EST


__drm_universal_plane_init() frees plane->format_types and
plane->modifiers on failure. However, sometimes its callers
will free these two pointers again, which may lead to a
double-free. One possible call chain is:

mdp5_plane_init
|-> drm_universal_plane_init
| |-> __drm_universal_plane_init (first free)
|
|-> mdp5_plane_destroy
|-> drm_plane_cleanup (second free)

Fix this by setting the two pointers to NULL after kfree.
