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)

923 /*
924 * Analog connectors may be hot-plugged unlike other connector
925 * types that don't support HPD. Only poll analog connectors.
926 */
927 use_polling |=

931 dc_link = amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link;
dc_link assigned here.

Please remove or adjust the "Fixes" tag here. It should be:
Fixes: 4562236b3bc0 ("drm/amd/dc: Add dc display driver (v2)")
The dc_link was already unconditionally dereferenced since the beginning of
DC, since the very first commit that introduced DC. The commit "Only poll
analog connectors" did not change the way HPD interrupts are set up.
With the Fixes tag adjusted, the patch is:
