NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/bridge: lt8912b: Fix crash on bridge detach<br />
<br />
The lt8912b driver, in its bridge detach function, calls<br />
drm_connector_unregister() and drm_connector_cleanup().<br />
<br />
drm_connector_unregister() should be called only for connectors<br />
explicitly registered with drm_connector_register(), which is not the<br />
case in lt8912b.<br />
<br />
The driver&#39;s drm_connector_funcs.destroy hook is set to<br />
drm_connector_cleanup().<br />
<br />
Thus the driver should not call either drm_connector_unregister() nor<br />
drm_connector_cleanup() in its lt8912_bridge_detach(), as they cause a<br />
crash on bridge detach:<br />
