The Parfait (version 2.1.0) static code analysis tool found the
following NULL pointer derefernce problem.

- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vblank.c
Null pointer checks were added to return values from calls to
drm_crtc_from_index().  There is a possibility, however minute, that
crtc->index may not be found when trying to find the struct crtc
from it's assigned index given in drm_crtc_init_with_planes().
3 return checks for NULL where added.

These are all drivers bugs, we'd need at least a WARN_ON when the crtc
doesn't exist. Otherwise this would just silently paper over a fairly
serious kernel bug (which doesn't improve things really).

Something like

	if (WARN_ON(!crtc))
		return NULL;

is what I'd go with.

I will make the requested changes and resubmit the patch. Thanks for reviewing the patches.
