SRU Justification: This patch fixes a regression that has
caused problems for users of another distribution. We
probably have users experiencing the same problem.

The patch is sane and minimal. The patch is in drm-next,
but not yet in Linus's tree or stable.

Bug #494045

Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Avoid NULL dereference with component_only tv_modes

In commit d2d9f2324, the guard for a valid video mode was removed. This
caused the regression:

  kernel crash during kms graphic boot on Intel GM4500 platform
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540218

This patches changes the logic slightly not to rely on a coupled
variable, but to just check whether the video_modes is valid before
dereferencing.
