[ Upstream commit 9f1f1a2dab38d4ce87a13565cf4dc1b73bef3a5f ] In drm_load_edid_firmware(), fwstr is allocated by kstrdup(). And fwstr is dereferenced in the following codes. However, memory allocation functions such as kstrdup() may fail and returns NULL. Dereferencing this null pointer may cause the kernel go wrong. Thus we should check this kstrdup() operation. Further, if kstrdup() returns NULL, we should return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) to the caller site.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
