CVE-2025-22093: drm/amd/display: avoid NPD when ASIC does not support DMUB

Published Apr 16, 2025

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: avoid NPD when ASIC does not support DMUB

ctx->dmubsrv will de NULL if the ASIC does not support DMUB, which is tested in dmdmubswinit.

However, it will be dereferenced in dmubhwlockmgrcmd if shouldusedmublock returns true.

This has been the case since dmub support has been added for PSR1.

Fix this by checking for dmubsrv in shouldusedmublock.
