Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] drm/vc4: hdmi: Fix pointer dereference before check

Commit 6bed2ea3cb38 ("drm/vc4: hdmi: Reset link on hotplug") introduced
the vc4_hdmi_reset_link() function. This function dereferences the
"connector" pointer before checking whether it is NULL or not.

Rework variable assignment to avoid this issue.

Hi, I think this change, or another in this area recently, is causing
the following warning. PTAL

drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_hdmi.c:351:14: warning: variable 'vc4_hdmi' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
mutex_lock(&vc4_hdmi->mutex);
^~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_hdmi.c:322:27: note: initialize the variable 'vc4_hdmi' to silence this warning
struct vc4_hdmi *vc4_hdmi;
^
= NULL

Guess we just crossed paths but this is just a problem with -next due to
a bad conflict resolution on Stephen's part:

This version of the patch is fine, as there is no mutex_lock() call
here.
