Subject: [PATCH 5.15 447/530] gpu: lontium-lt9611: Fix NULL pointer dereference in lt9611_connector_init()

From: Zeng Jingxiang <linuszeng@...cent.com>

[ Upstream commit ef8886f321c5dab8124b9153d25afa2a71d05323 ]

A NULL check for bridge->encoder shows that it may be NULL, but it
already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.
812	if (!bridge->encoder) {

Dereference the pointer bridge->encoder.
810	drm_connector_attach_encoder(&lt9611->connector, bridge->encoder);
