From 7e07e7c0854b32181b314f5ba43007629594663a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tushar Behera Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2014 14:23:00 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: core: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference snd_soc_of_parse_card_name() may be called before card->dev has been set, which results in a kernel panic. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000210 PC is at snd_soc_of_parse_card_name+0x18/0x54 LR is at snow_probe+0x5c/0xd4 Add an error check in snd_soc_of_parse_card_name() to take care of this case and print out a message in case of error.
