Summary

In the Linux kernel, the drm/amd/display driver has an issue where the 'timing generator' pointer (pipe_ctx->stream_res.tg) can be NULL, and dereferencing it leads to a crash. The fix adds a NULL test in dcn21_set_pipe().

Risk Assessment

May cause a kernel crash (null pointer dereference) during display pipe configuration on AMD graphics cards with DCN 2.1.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds a NULL test for 'timing generator'.
