The connector initialization in intel_dp_add_mst_connector() depends on
the device pointer in connector to be valid, at least by connector
debug printing. The device pointer is initialized by drm_connector_init(),
however that function also exposes the connector to in-kernel users,
which can't be done before the connector is fully initialized. For now
make sure the device pointer is valid before it's used, until a
follow-up change moving this to DRM core.
This issue was revealed by the commit in the Fixes: line below, before
which the above debug printing checked and handled a NULL device pointer
gracefully in DRM core.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
