[PATCH v9 24/61] drm/rockchip: dw_hdmi_qp: Fix NULL deref in PM ops on incomplete bind

From: Cristian Ciocaltea

Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 21:36:31 EST


The system-sleep PM callbacks fetch the driver state via
dev_get_drvdata() and dereference it unconditionally. However, they can
run while the device is not fully bound. If the system suspends before
the component framework invokes the bind callback (e.g. during a
deferred probe waiting for the VOP), dev_get_drvdata() returns NULL.
Moreover, if dw_hdmi_qp_bind() fails, drvdata is already set but
hdmi->hdmi is left holding an error pointer.

In either case dw_hdmi_qp_rockchip_resume() dereferences an invalid
pointer, causing a kernel panic; the suspend path is equally affected.

Guard both callbacks against NULL checks, and reset hdmi->hdmi to NULL
when dw_hdmi_qp_bind() fails so the guards are effective.
hdmi->ctrl_ops is assigned before platform_set_drvdata(), so it is safe
to use whenever drvdata is non-NULL.
