Subject: [PATCH v3] drm/msm/dpu: Disallow unallocated resources to be returned

In the event that the topology requests resources that have not been
created by the system (because they are typically not represented in
dpu_mdss_cfg ^1), the resource(s) in global_state (in this case DSC
blocks, until their allocation/assignment is being sanity-checked in
"drm/msm/dpu: Reject topologies for which no DSC blocks are available")
remain NULL but will still be returned out of
dpu_rm_get_assigned_resources, where the caller expects to get an array
containing num_blks valid pointers (but instead gets these NULLs).

To prevent this from happening, where null-pointer dereferences
typically result in a hard-to-debug platform lockup, num_blks shouldn't
increase past NULL blocks and will print an error and break instead.
After all, max_blks represents the static size of the maximum number of
blocks whereas the actual amount varies per platform.

^1: which can happen after a git rebase ended up moving additions to
_dpu_cfg to a different struct which has the same patch context.

Fixes: bb00a452d6f7 ("drm/msm/dpu: Refactor resource manager")

Changes since v2:
- Dropped all 7 other patches that were queued for -next;
- Reworded error message to clarify that the requested resource should
  have already been allocated, rather than sounding like
  dpu_rm_get_assigned_resources is (re)allocating/(re)assigning
  resources here;
- This patch is now (implicitly!) based after "drm/msm/dpu: Reject
  topologies for which no DSC blocks are available", which should make
  it impossible to reach this condition, making it more of a safeguard
  in case of future code changes and/or hidden issues: and is more
  clearly conveyed in the patch message as well.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20221221231943.1961117-5-marijn.suijten@somainline.org/
