Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix a UBSAN warning in DML2.1
When programming phantom pipe, since cursor_width is explicity set to 0, this causes calculation logic to trigger overflow for an unsigned int triggering the kernel's UBSAN check as below:

Fix this by adding a guard for checking cursor width before triggering the size calculation.
