In case alloc_workqueue fails, the fix frees memory and
returns to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference.

Hi Kangjie,


thanks for your patch.

This would leak some memory referenced by struct drm_crtc. To solve
this, I suggest calling radeon_crtc_destroy here and making that cope
with radeon_crtc->flip_queue being NULL.


Also, I'm not sure all driver code can handle some CRTCs not
initializing. Given that, and as alloc_workqueue presumably only fails
if the system is essentially out of memory anyway, it's probably better
for radeon_crtc_init to return -ENOMEM in this case and for
radeon_modeset_init to propagate that, which will prevent the driver as
a whole from initializing.

radeon_crtc_destroy currently unconditionally calls:

destroy_workqueue(radeon_crtc->flip_queue);

AFAICT destroy_workqueue will blow up if NULL is passed to it, so
radeon_crtc_destroy needs to check for that.
