Subject: drm/mipi-dsi: Avoid potential NULL pointer dereference
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b97383b789c1b2a8d4bc54d142a12f9d0a12aa1;p=linux-beck.git

drm/mipi-dsi: Avoid potential NULL pointer dereference

The mipi_dsi_packet_create() function dereferences the msg pointer
before checking that it's valid. Move the dereference down to where it
is required to avoid potentially dereferencing a NULL pointer.
