CVE-2025-39807

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/mediatek: Add error handling for old state CRTC in atomic_disable

Introduce error handling to address an issue where, after a hotplug
event, the cursor continues to update. This situation can lead to a
kernel panic due to accessing the NULL `old_state->crtc`.

E,g.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Adding NULL pointer checks to ensure stability by preventing operations
on an invalid CRTC state.
