Linux kernel source tree
2a07396828
As with other places in the Linux kernel--kfree(NULL) being the most famous example--it's convenient to treat being passed a NULL argument as a noop in cleanup functions. Let's make drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() work like this. This is convenient for DRM devices that use the "component" model. On these devices we want shutdown to be a noop if the bind() call of the component hasn't been called yet. As long as drivers are careful to make sure the drvdata is NULL whenever the driver is not bound then we can just do a simple call to drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() with the drvdata at shutdown time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
