The DSI encoder sets dssdev->ops->dsi.set_config, which is stored at the
same offset as dssdev->ops->hdmi.set_hdmi_mode. The code in omap_encoder
only checks if dssdev->ops->hdmi.set_hdmi_mode is NULL. Due to the way
union works, it won't be NULL if dsi.set_config is set. This means
dsi_set_config will be called with config=hdmi_mode=false=NULL parameter
resulting in a NULL dereference. Also the dereference happens while
console is locked, so kernel hangs without any debug output (can be
avoided by fbmem's lockless_register_fb=1 parameter).
This fixes the issue by exiting early if the output type definitely
has no hdmi_set operations.
