'''
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd_fence.c:108:9: error: Null pointer dereference: fence [nullPointer]
 return fence->timeline_name;
        ^
'''

The method to_amdgpu_amdkfd_fence can return NULL incase of empty f
or f->ops != &amdkfd_fence_ops.Hence, check has been added .
If fence is null , then null is returned.
