Subject: [PATCH] drm/exynos: Check for NULL dereference of crtc

The commit "drm/exynos: remove exynos_plane_dpms" (d9ea6256) removed the
use of the enabled flag, which means that the code may attempt to call
win_enable on a NULL crtc. This results in the following oops on
Arndale:

[    2.024178] [<c02e61b4>] (drm_mode_config_cleanup) from [<c02f66fc>] (exynos_drm_load+0xac/0x12c)

This patch adds in a check to ensure exynos_crtc is not NULL before it
is dereferenced.
