Subject: 5.9-rc7: BUG: kernel NULL pointer reference

I just tried 5.9-rc7, and got a blank screen wit just an unresponsive
mouse pointer and non-working keyboard when starting lightdm.

I could ssh to the machine, and saved the dmesg output. Attached.

5.9-rc6 works as it should.

I will try bisecting if no-one has a simple explanation.

There's a simple explanation, no need to bisect.

I'll push out the fix asap,
