The return values of `drm_edid_dup()` and `drm_edid_read_ddc()` must be checked in `tegra_output_connector_get_modes()` to prevent NULL pointer dereferences. If either function fails, the function should immediately return 0, indicating that no display modes can be retrieved.
No. It works as designed, and drm_edid_connector_update() and cec_notifier_set_phys_addr() *must* be called with NULL drm_edid in case of failure.
A proper implementation can be found in `vidi_get_modes()`, where the return values are carefully validated, and the function returns 0 upon failure.
That case is slightly different, as it doesn't actually access the display at that point, but it wouldn't be wrong to skip the early !drm_edid check there too.
