From: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.99 commit 02f4597198329076f4f02f27906447a90357ae66 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I55O7H Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit f7a6021aaf02088870559f82fc13c58cda7fea1a upstream. If the device does not exist, of_get_child_by_name() will return NULL pointer. And devm_snd_soc_register_component() does not check it. Also, I have noticed that cpcap_codec_driver has not been used yet. Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to avoid the future dereference of the NULL pointer.
