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

    drm/i915: Grab intel_display from the encoder to avoid potential oopsies

    Grab the intel_display from ‘encoder’ rather than ‘state’
    in the encoder hooks to avoid the massive footgun that is
    intel_sanitize_encoder(), which passes NULL as the ‘state’
    argument to encoder .disable() and .post_disable().

    TODO: figure out how to actually fix intel_sanitize_encoder()…
