Subject: [PATCH 4/7] drivers/gpu/drm: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure.  Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator.

In the first two cases, a a break is added after the switch; the break in
the switch would jump out of the switch, but not out of the complete
iteration.

In the first case, the null test on connector is removed, because the
iterator variable of list_for_each_entry is never null.

In the third case, entry->base.crtc.fb is not a meaningful value.  What
seems to be intended is crtc->fb, which gets the information from the last
element of the list.

These problems were found using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).
