CVE-2024-47720

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: Add null check for set_output_gamma in dcn30_set_output_transfer_func

This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer in the dcn30_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously, set_output_gamma was being checked for nullity at line 386, but then it was being dereferenced without any nullity check at line 401. This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if set_output_gamma is indeed null.

To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 401. If set_output_gamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the function.

This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error.
