In malidp_mw_connector_reset, new memory is allocated with kzalloc, but no check is performed. In order to prevent null pointer dereferencing, ensure that mw_state is checked before calling __drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
