Yes, the offending commit cb285a5348e7 dropped mxsfb_get_fb_paddr()
which contains an important !fb check to avoid the NULL pointer
dereferencing.

drm_fb_{cma, dma}_get_gem_addr() called by
mxsfb_plane_primary_atomic_update() don't do !fb check but directly
dereference fb.  That's why the NULL pointer dereferencing issue
happens.

With this patch, mxsfb_plane_overlay_atomic_disable() is used
to disable overlay plane, not mxsfb_plane_primary_atomic_update().
Please see funcs->atomic_{disable, update}  in
drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes().
