Subject: [PATCH] drm/arm/malidp: fix a possible null pointer dereference

In malidp_mw_connector_reset, new memory is allocated with kzalloc, but 
no check is performed. In order to prevent null pointer dereferencing, 
ensure that mw_state is checked before calling 
__drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset.

Fixes: 8cbc5caf36ef ("drm: mali-dp: Add writeback connector")
