This patch fixes a null pointer dereference in the error message that is
printed when the Display Core (DC) fails to initialize. The original
message includes the DC version number, which is undefined if the DC is
not initialized.

There is value in printing the version number. Let's not remove it.

Instead you can probably fix it by doing a NULL check on adev->dm.dc->ctx.

Hi Harry

I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that I need to add a NULL check in the if statement (i.e. if(adev->dm.dc && adev->dm.dc->ctx)), because adev->dm.dc is NULL in the else statement and there is no way to print adev->dm.dc->ctx->dce_version.

Regards
