Commit c1cf79ca5ced46 (drm/amdgpu: use IP discovery table for renoir)
introduced a NULL pointer dereference when booting with
amdgpu.discovery=0.

For amdgpu.discovery=0 that commit effectively removed the call of
vega10_reg_base_init(adev), so I tested the correctness of the bisect
session by restoring that function call for amdgpu_discovery == 0 and with
that change, the NULL pointer dereference does not occur:
