As the possible failure of the kzalloc(), mw_state could be NULL pointer. Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to avoid the dereference of the NULL pointer, like the kzalloc() in malidp_mw_connector_duplicate_state(). If fails, we can directly use the 'NULL' instead of the '&mw_state->base' and __drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset() will deal with it correctly.
