Subject: [PATCH 0/2] drm: Two fixes for the 'Provide client setup helper and
 convert drivers' patchset

Dear All,

Yesterday the "drm: Provide client setup helper and convert drivers"
patchset [1] landed in linux-next. In my tests I found that it causes kernel
NULL pointer dereference on ARM/ARM64 based Raspberry Pi4B boards. It
turned out that the conversion of the VC4 DRM driver is a bit incomplete,
so I've decided to provide the needed fix. While developping it I've
found that a small fix to generic drm/fbdev-helper helps to avoid NULL
pointer dereference in the future in case of similar problems.

Those patches fixes the following problem observed on Raspberry Pi4B
boards:
