It's ok to pass atomic check successfully if an atomic commit tries to
disable the display pipeline which the connector belongs to. That is,
when the crtc or the best_encoder pointers in struct drm_connector_state
are NULL, drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_check() should return 0.
Without the check against the NULL pointers, drm_default_rgb_quant_range()
called by drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_check() would dereference
the NULL pointer to_match in drm_match_cea_mode().
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

Tested with i.MX8MP imx-lcdif.
sun4i and rockchip are not tested due to no HW access.
v2:
* Trim backtrace in commit message. (Dmitry)
* Drop timestamps from backtrace commit message. (Dmitry)
* Move the necessary checks from drm_bridge_connector_atomic_check() to
drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_check(). (Dmitry)
