[ Upstream commit 3d887d512494d678b17c57b835c32f4e48d34f26 ] As drm_dp_get_mst_branch_device_by_guid() is called from drm_dp_get_mst_branch_device_by_guid(), mstb parameter has to be checked, otherwise NULL dereference may occur in the call to the memcpy() and cause following: [12579.365869] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000049 [12579.365878] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [12579.365880] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [12579.365882] PGD 0 P4D 0 [12579.365887] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
