I don't seem to see how a NULL dm_state in
create_validate_stream_for_sink() (or create_stream_for_sink() for that
matter) has an impact on the drm_mode_set_crtcinfo() call. That one depends
on !old_stream and &mode.

It does look like &mode is an empty mode if we can't find a preferred_mode,
though. Not sure if that can cause an issue.

If we look back to commit 4a2df0d1f28e ("drm/amd/display: Fixed
non-native modes not lighting up") it seems like the intent was to only
have drm_mode_set_crtcinfo() called for
amdgpu_dm_connector_mode_valid(). Since, even if we go that far back
create_stream_for_sink()'s dm_state was only NULL when it was called
from amdgpu_dm_connector_mode_valid().

I don't think it should be an issue, since before commit 4a2df0d1f28e
("drm/amd/display: Fixed non-native modes not lighting up") we always
called drm_mode_set_crtcinfo() in the aforementioned case (and only for
that case).
