> drm/amd/display: Fix 'panel_cntl' could be null in 'dcn21_set_backlight_level()'
> 
> In dcn21_set_backlight_level(), pipe_ctx->stream_res.tg->inst was
> dereferenced without checking if stream_res.tg could be NULL, making
> it a potential null pointer dereference issue.
> 
> Despite being labeled as the fix, the e96fddb commit DIDN'T fix the CVE
> correctly. Another follow-up patch (drm/amd/display: Fix && vs || typos)
> (17ba9cde11c2) should be applied altogether to fully mitigate this CVE.
