[PATCH 2/5] drm/amd/display: Move three variable assignments behind condition checks in trigger_hotplug()

[Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@web.de>]

Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2023 11:39:02 +0200

The address of a data structure member was determined before
a corresponding null pointer check in the implementation of
the function “trigger_hotplug”.

Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by moving the assignment
for three local variables behind some condition checks.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
