In amdgpu_connector_lcd_native_mode(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, and there is a dereference of it in amdgpu_connector_lcd_native_mode(), which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate().
Fix this bug add a check of mode.
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=m show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
