From: Gen Zhang <blackgod016...@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit 9f1f1a2dab38d4ce87a13565cf4dc1b73bef3a5f ]
In drm_load_edid_firmware(), fwstr is allocated by kstrdup(). And fwstr is dereferenced in the following codes. However, memory allocation functions such as kstrdup() may fail and returns NULL. Dereferencing this null pointer may cause the kernel go wrong. Thus we should check this kstrdup() operation. Further, if kstrdup() returns NULL, we should return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) to the caller site.
