Subject: [76/90] drm/i915: Avoid NULL dereference with component_only tv_modes

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit d271817baecbccb47da0d9f28c285a0dae8a06b7 upstream.

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.
