In hx83102_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Even though a small allocation failing is basically impossible, kernel policy is still to check for NULL so add the check.
