[PATCH] ASoC: qcom: Fix NULL Dereference in asoc_qcom_lpass_cpu_platform_probe()

[Gax-c]

A devm_kzalloc() in asoc_qcom_lpass_cpu_platform_probe() could
possibly return NULL pointer. NULL Pointer Dereference may be
triggerred without addtional check.
Add a NULL check for the returned pointer.

From: Zichen Xie <zichenxie0106@gmail.com>

A devm_kzalloc() in asoc_qcom_lpass_cpu_platform_probe() could
possibly return NULL pointer. NULL Pointer Dereference may be
triggerred without addtional check.
Add a NULL check for the returned pointer.

* How do you think about to use the term “null pointer dereference”
  for the final commit message (including the summary phrase)?

* Would you like to avoid any typos here?

Did you overlook to add a version description behind the marker line?

Hi,

This is the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Markus, you seem to have sent a nonsensical or otherwise pointless
review comment to a patch submission on a Linux kernel developer mailing
list.  I strongly suggest that you not do this anymore.  Please do not
bother developers who are actively working to produce patches and
features with comments that, in the end, are a waste of time.

Patch submitter, please ignore Markus's suggestion; you do not need to
follow it at all.  The person/bot/AI that sent it is being ignored by
almost all Linux kernel maintainers for having a persistent pattern of
behavior of producing distracting and pointless commentary, and
inability to adapt to feedback.  Please feel free to also ignore emails
from them.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

* Do you care for any spell checking?

* Do you find any related advice (from other automated responses) helpful?

I find such a feedback surprising.
Does it indicate any recurring communication difficulties?

I wonder how this answer fits to reminders for the Linux patch review process
(which were also automatically sent) according to your inbox filter rules.

I think Fixes / Cc / Signed-off-by is more logical.

This is version two of your patch (even though the patch contents didn't
change). Please tag your patches accordingly, provide a changelog and
don't send next iteration as a reply to the existing thread (it might
get lost or mishandled). Please send a proper v3 of your patch.
