Hello Alvin Lee,
Commit 285a7054bf81 ("drm/amd/display: Remove plane and stream
pointers from dc scratch") from Mar 15, 2024 (linux-next), leads to
the following Smatch static checker warning:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn20/dcn20_hwseq.c:1112 dcn20_set_input_transfer_func() warn: address of 'plane_state->in_transfer_func' is non-NULL

^^^^^^^^^
This assignment is not necessary now.

^^^^^
Before there was an if statement but now tf is assigned unconditionally
1111
--> 1112 if (tf == NULL) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
so these conditions are impossible.
