I've been experiencing some intermittent crashes down in the display driver code. The symptoms are ususally a line like this in dmesg: amdgpu 0000:30:00.0: [drm] Failed to create MST payload for port 000000006d3a3885: -5 ...followed by an Oops due to a NULL pointer dereference. The real bug is probably in the caller of this function, which is passing it a NULL state pointer, but this patch at least keeps my machine from oopsing when this occurs.
