I don't seem to see how a NULL dm_state in
create_validate_stream_for_sink() (or create_stream_for_sink() for that
matter) has an impact on the drm_mode_set_crtcinfo() call. That one depends
on !old_stream and &mode.

It does look like &mode is an empty mode if we can't find a preferred_mode,
though. Not sure if that can cause an issue.
