Which is perfectly fine.

See error handling is to handle userspace or hardware errors and *not* coding errors.

Testing all pointers for NULL without any reason is not defensive, but rather the exactly opposite since it helps hiding real bugs.

Is amdgpu_display_get_fb_info ever called with NULL tiling_flags/tmz_surface?
If not, there's no point in adding NULL checks.
It isn't called with NULL anywhere, the NULL checks that already exist
seem redundant.
Grigory, would be be willing to submit a v2 which removes the unnecessary
NULL checks?
