From: Karol Herbst <kherbst@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d5712cd22b9cf109fded1b7f178f4c1888c8b84b upstream. The original commit adding that check tried to protect the kenrel against a potential invalid NULL pointer access. However we call nouveau_connector_detect_depth once without a native_mode set on purpose for non LVDS connectors and this broke DP support in a few cases.
