Subject: drm/amdgpu: return from atombios_dp_get_dpcd only when error
From: Arindam Nath <arindam.nath@xxxxxxx>
commit 0b39c531cfa12dad54eac238c2e303b994df1ef7 upstream.
In amdgpu_connector_hotplug(), we need to start DP link
training only after we have received DPCD. The function
amdgpu_atombios_dp_get_dpcd() returns non-zero value only
when an error condition is met, otherwise returns zero.
So in case the function encounters an error, we need to
skip rest of the code and return from amdgpu_connector_hotplug()
immediately. Only when we are successfull in reading DPCD
pin, we should carry on with turning-on the monitor.
