drm/amd/display: Fix dereference-before-check for dc_link
The function dereferences amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link early to
initialize verified_link_cap and dc, but later still checks
amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link for NULL in the analog path.
This late NULL check is redundant, introduce a local dc_link pointer,
use it consistently, and drop the superfluous NULL check while using
dc_link->link_id.id instead.
The function uses dc_link at the very beginning without checking if it
is NULL. But later in the code, it suddenly checks if dc_link is NULL.
This check is too late to be useful, because the code has already used
dc_link earlier. So this NULL check does nothing.
We simplify the code by storing amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link in a local
dc_link variable and using it throughout the function. Since dc_link is
already dereferenced early, the later NULL check is unnecessary and is
removed.
Fixes the below:
amdgpu_dm_connector_get_modes():
variable dereferenced before check 'amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link'
8856
8857 if (amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_sink &&
8858 amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link &&
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Checked too late.
Presumably this NULL check could be removed?
