Srinivasan Shanmugam 226a40c06a drm/amd/display: Fix dc_link NULL handling in HPD init
amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() may see connectors without a valid dc_link.

The code already checks dc_link for the polling decision, but later
unconditionally dereferences it when setting up HPD interrupts.

Assign dc_link early and skip connectors where it is NULL.

Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c:940 amdgpu_dm_hpd_init()
error: we previously assumed 'dc_link' could be null (see line 931)

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c
    923                 /*
    924                  * Analog connectors may be hot-plugged unlike other connector
    925                  * types that don't support HPD. Only poll analog connectors.
    926                  */

                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The patch adds this NULL check but hopefully it can be removed

    929                         dc_connector_supports_analog(amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link->link_id.id);
    930
    931                 dc_link = amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link;

dc_link assigned here.
