Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s AMD display driver, which caused a NULL pointer dereference during the setup of Multi-Stream Transport (MST) and Display Stream Compression (DSC). This issue occurred when the driver attempted to recompute DSC parameters without an active stream on the link, leading to system crashes.

[how]
dsc recompute should be skipped if no mode change detected on the new
request. If detected, keep checking whether the stream is already on
current state or not.
