[PATCH] drm/amd/display: guard NULL secondary pipe in dcn_validate_bandwidth()

From: Dmitriy Chumachenko

Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 13:42:30 EST


resource_find_free_secondary_pipe_legacy() returns NULL when no free
pipe is available, but the result is only passed to ASSERT() (a
WARN_ON_ONCE() that does not stop execution) and then dereferenced in
split_stream_across_pipes() and dcn_bw_calc_rq_dlg_ttu().

The sibling resource callers (dcn10/dcn20/dcn201) already NULL-check
this function's result. Do the same here and skip the split when no
free pipe is available.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
