Subject: [PATCH] drm/rockchip: psr: do not dereference encoder before it is
 null checked.

'encoder' is dereferenced before it is null sanity checked, hence we
potentially have a null pointer dereference bug. Instead, initialise
drm_drv from encoder->dev->dev_private after we are sure 'encoder' is
not null.
