[PATCH v2] drm/msm/dpu: reorder pointer operations after sanity checks to avoid NULL deref
From: Qasim Ijaz
Date: Sun Mar 09 2025 - 05:55:39 EST
_dpu_encoder_trigger_start dereferences "struct dpu_encoder_phys *phys"
before the sanity checks which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if
phys is NULL.
Fix this by reordering the dereference after the sanity checks.
Fixes: 8144d17a81d9 ("drm/msm/dpu: Skip trigger flush and start for CWB")
Signed-off-by: Qasim Ijaz <qasdev00@xxxxxxxxx>

v2:
- Moved Signed-off tag below Fixes tag
- Moved dpu_enc declaration to the top and initialisation below sanity checks
