From: Srinivasan Shanmugam <srinivasan.shanmugam@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f22f4754aaa47d8c59f166ba3042182859e5dff7 ] This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the `dcn201_acquire_free_pipe_for_layer` function. The issue could occur when `head_pipe` is null. The fix adds a check to ensure `head_pipe` is not null before asserting it. If `head_pipe` is null, the function returns NULL to prevent a potential null pointer dereference.
