Subject: CVE-2024-49911: drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for function pointer in dcn20_set_output_transfer_func

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for function pointer in dcn20_set_output_transfer_func

This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer
in the dcn20_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously,
set_output_gamma was being checked for null at line 1030, but then it
was being dereferenced without any null check at line 1048. This could
potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if set_output_gamma
is null.

To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before
dereferencing it. We do this by adding a null check for set_output_gamma
before the call to set_output_gamma at line 1048.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-49911 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
