CVE-2026-98786

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

drm/amd/display: guard dc_sink dereferences in MST mode validation

dm_dp_mst_is_port_support_mode() reads
aconnector->dc_sink->dsc_caps... for the DSC branch-throughput check,
and get_conv_frl_bw()'s HDMI-PCON FRL-bandwidth path reads
aconnector->dc_sink->edid_caps.max_frl_rate, both without a NULL
check. dc_sink is cleared asynchronously on MST unplug, and both
functions run from paths that the driver's own comments document as
racing that teardown: the connector probe worker's ->mode_valid
callback and a compositor's atomic check, neither of which holds the
MST manager lock that the teardown path uses. The former does have an
existing dsc_aux NULL check, but dsc_aux isn't reliably cleared in
every path that clears dc_sink, so it doesn't cover this.

Fail the port-support check and skip the FRL conversion path when the
sink is already gone.
