If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ad86bde3b9ac7bce5416c573ba8f0bff633a4d84 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 12 11:44:59 2024 +0300 drm/mediatek: Fix potential NULL dereference in mtk_crtc_destroy() [ Upstream commit 4018651ba5c409034149f297d3dd3328b91561fd ] In mtk_crtc_create(), if the call to mbox_request_channel() fails then we set the "mtk_crtc->cmdq_client.chan" pointer to NULL. In that situation, we do not call cmdq_pkt_create(). During the cleanup, we need to check if the "mtk_crtc->cmdq_client.chan" is NULL first before calling cmdq_pkt_destroy(). Calling cmdq_pkt_destroy() is unnecessary if we didn't call cmdq_pkt_create() and it will result in a NULL pointer dereference.
