drm: bridge: cdns-mhdp8546: Fix possible null pointer dereference
[ Upstream commit 935a92a1c400285545198ca2800a4c6c519c650a ]
In cdns_mhdp_atomic_enable(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is
assigned to mhdp_state->current_mode, and there is a dereference of it in
drm_mode_set_name(), which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference on
failure of drm_mode_duplicate().
Fix this bug add a check of mhdp_state->current_mode.
