Hi,

Static analysis with Coverity has picked up two potential issues with
the commit in linux-next:

commit 1452c25b0e60278820f3d2155c65f1bfcce5ee79

drm: Add helpers to kick off self refresh mode in drivers

1. There is a potential null dereference on the following code path in
function drm_self_refresh_helper_entry_work:

state = drm_atomic_state_alloc(dev);
if (!state) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}

..the exit path out calls drm_atomic_state_put(state) which dereferences
the null state.

2. The following error exit path to out in function
drm_self_refresh_helper_entry_work will check if ret is -EDEADLK however
ret has not been initialized at this point:

if (!crtc_state->enable)
goto out;

...

out:
if (ret == -EDEADLK) {
...
}
