The check before alone is not enough for a case where there is another
bug introduced so that
context->stream_count is not in sync with actual number of streams
across entire resource_context.
At least assert indeed should be there.

There is a check just before for-loop that should ensure pipe_ctx is not null:

if (context->stream_count != 1)
return false;
To remove the subject warning - we can rather add an assert:
assert(pipe_ctx);
Thanks,
Roman

hello there,
Source code is
for (i = 0; i < dc->res_pool->pipe_count; i++) {
if (res_ctx->pipe_ctx[i].stream) {
pipe_ctx = &res_ctx->pipe_ctx[i];
*pipe_idx = i;
break;
}
}
Indeed something like
if (!pipe_ctx)
return false;
seems the right thing here.
Harry, Roman , your opinion ?
Andrey
/* Only supports eDP */
if (pipe_ctx->stream->sink->link->connector_signal !=
SIGNAL_TYPE_EDP)
return false;
Suggest add some code to deal with the case that the for loop doesn't
find what it is looking for and so pipe_ctx is NULL.
