Subject: [16/71] drm/i915/dp: Be paranoid in case we disable a DP before it is attached

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

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

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

commit 31acbcc408f412d1ba73765b846c38642be553c3 upstream.

Given that the hardware may be left in a random condition by the BIOS,
it is conceivable that we then attempt to clear the DP_PIPEB_SELECT bit
without us ever enabling/attaching the DP encoder to a pipe. Thus
causing a NULL deference when we attempt to wait for a vblank on that
crtc.
