4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Philippe CORNU <philippe.cornu@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c20f5f69c898899027c3e573afaab837195895b6 ] Fix the warning "warn: variable dereferenced before check 'crtc' (see line 390)" by removing unnecessary checks as ltdc_crtc_update_clut() is only called from ltdc_crtc_atomic_flush() where crtc and crtc->state are not NULL.
