[ Upstream commit fcf6a49d79923a234844b8efe830a61f3f0584e4 ]

[Why]
When unplug one of monitors connected after mst hub, encounter null pointer 
dereference.

It's due to dc_sink get released immediately in early_unregister() or 
detect_ctx(). When
commit new state which directly referring to info stored in dc_sink will cause 
null pointer
dereference.

[how]
Remove redundant checking condition. Relevant condition should already be 
covered by checking
if dsc_aux is null or not. Also reset dsc_aux to NULL when the connector is 
disconnected.

This backport doesn't look right to me, can you please clarify these.

1. I think it is worth documenting in commit message just before your SOB on why you don't need this hunk:

which is part of upstream, I understand that this is not in 6.1.y code, if so is it even affected ?

2. Also commit message says:

""

""

but the if(!aconnector->dsc_aux) is not in 6.1.y, so something is missing. Maybe 6.1.y is not affected or we need more backports to 6.1.y to make them clean cherry-picks ?

Thanks,
Harshit
