During msm initialize phase, dp_display_unbind() will be called to undo initializations had been done by dp_display_bind() previously if there is error happen at msm_drm_bind. Under this kind of circumstance, drm_device may not be populated completed which causes system crash at drm_dev_dbg(). This patch reset drm_dev to NULL so that following drm_dev_dbg() will not refer to any internal fields of drm_device to prevent system from crashing.
