Merge tag 'drm-misc-fixes-2026-09-24' of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/misc/kernel into drm-fixesgrafted
A number of fixes:
- bridge:
- samsung-dsim: fix GPIO lifetime
- client: Null pointer dereference fix
- imagination: error handling fix, page handling fix
- nouveau: fix reference leaks, double-frees, out-of-bounds accesses,
use-after-frees, don't reject config without SCDC, a number of
workarounds
- virtio: fix memory leak, reference leaks, null pointer dereference,
add pixel blend mode, cache coherency fix
