Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/mediatek: dp: drm_err => dev_err in HPD path to avoid NULL ptr The function mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() may be called before the `mtk_dp->drm_dev` pointer is assigned in mtk_dp_bridge_attach(). Specifically it can be called via this callpath: - mtk_edp_wait_hpd_asserted - [panel probe] - dp_aux_ep_probe Using "drm" level prints anywhere in this callpath causes a NULL pointer dereference. Change the error message directly in mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() to dev_err() to avoid this. Also change the error messages in mtk_dp_parse_capabilities(), which is called by mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted(). While touching these prints, also add the error code to them to make future debugging easier.

La funci\u00f3n mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() puede llamarse antes de asignar el puntero `mtk_dp-\u0026gt;drm_dev` en mtk_dp_bridge_attach(). Espec\u00edficamente, se puede llamar a trav\u00e9s de esta ruta de llamada: - mtk_edp_wait_hpd_asserted - [panel probe] - dp_aux_ep_probe El uso de impresiones de nivel \"drm\" en cualquier parte de esta ruta de llamada provoca una desreferencia del puntero nulo. Cambie el mensaje de error directamente en mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() a dev_err() para evitar esto. Cambie tambi\u00e9n los mensajes de error en mtk_dp_parse_capabilities(), que es llamado por mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted().
