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

drm/amd/display: fix null-pointer dereference on edid reading

Use i2c adapter when there isn’t aux_mode in dc_link to fix a
null-pointer derefence that happens when running
igt@kms_force_connector_basic in a system with DCN2.1 and HDMI connector
detected as below:
