Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0861/1039] drm/amd/display: Fix the uninitialized variable in enable_stream_features()

From: Yizhuo Zhai <yzhai003@....edu>

commit 0726ed3065eeb910f9cea0c933bc021a848e00b3 upstream.

In function enable_stream_features(), the variable "old_downspread.raw"
could be uninitialized if core_link_read_dpcd() fails, however, it is
used in the later if statement, and further, core_link_write_dpcd()
may write random value, which is potentially unsafe.

Fixes: 6016cd9dba0f ("drm/amd/display: add helper for enabling mst stream features")
