[PATCH] drm/ast: fix using freed memory

trix
2022-02-03T15:23:24Z

From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

clang static analysis reports this problem
ast_mode.c:1235:3: warning: Use of memory after it is freed
drm_connector_update_edid_property(&ast_connector->base, edid);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The second condition on

if (!flags && ast_connector->i2c)

Means that the edid is not always set. If the previous block
fails the freed edid value will be used. So set edid to NULL
after freeing.

Fixes: 55dc449a7c60 ("drm/ast: Handle failed I2C initialization gracefully")
