From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently there is a null pointer check for hdmi_phy that implies it may be null, however a dev_err messages dereferences this potential null pointer. Avoid a null pointer dereference by only emitting the dev_err message if hdmi_phy is non-null. It is a moot point if the error message needs to be printed at all, but since this is a relatively new piece of code it may be useful to keep the message in for the moment in case there are unforseen errors that need to be reported.
