The display param duplication deviates from the original param
duplication in that it converts NULL params to to allocated empty
strings. This works for the vbt_firmware parameter, but not for
dmc_firmware_path, the user of which interprets NULL and the empty
string as distinct values. Specifically, the empty dmc_firmware_path
leads to DMC and PM being disabled.
Just remove the NULL check and pass it to kstrdup(), which safely
returns NULL for NULL input.

specific to display")
Fixes: 0d82a0d6f556 ("drm/i915/display: move dmc_firmware_path to display
params")
