Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/mediatek: dp: drm_err => dev_err in HPD path to avoid NULL ptr The function mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() may be called before the
`mtk_dp->drm_dev` pointer is assigned in mtk_dp_bridge_attach().
Specifically it can be called via this callpath: - mtk_edp_wait_hpd_asserted - [panel probe] - dp_aux_ep_probe Using "drm" level prints anywhere in this callpath causes a NULL
pointer dereference. Change the error message directly in
mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() to dev_err() to avoid this. Also change the
error messages in mtk_dp_parse_capabilities(), which is called by
mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted(). While touching these prints, also add the error code to them to make
future debugging easier.
