NULL ptr dereference in cs42l43/cs35l56 on Lenovo Yoga 7 Slim laptop

NULL ptr dereference in cs42l43/cs35l56 on Lenovo Yoga 7 Slim laptop

[Krzysztof Hałasa]

Hello,

I'm trying to use some audio on a certain new laptop:
DMI: LENOVO 83R0/LNVNB161216, BIOS UCCN16WW 08/07/2026. Aka Yoga 7 Slim
14ILL11 or something like that. Also LENOVO_MT_83R0_BU_idea_FM_Yoga
Slim 7 14ILL11.
Linux version 7.4.0-rc2+
Ubuntu 26.04.01 LTS.
Kernel config is copied from Ubuntu 26.04.01 LTS test kernel.
Lots of ACPI errors in dmesg.

Oops: general protection fault, kernel NULL pointer dereference 0x38: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

Tried 7.3.something first, no NULL ptr dereferences, but it tried to
talk with some ghost rt711-sdca chip, and the sound didn't work either.
7.2.x, there were some topology problems or something, apparently that
was fixed in the tree.

Added some pr_crit()s:

What are my options?

Not one I have seen before, could you re-try 7.3 but with this
patch added:

commit e0cb731652a1bebf962086f17d1b7c9d060cb7d6
soundwire: dmi-quirks: Disable ghost rt711 on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7

That should fix the ghost rt711 problem and would be good to see
if this is a regression. Pretty sure it is but probably makes
sense to confirm first.

Thanks,
Charles

Having a look around, I also found this patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261109102536.357134-1-ghidoliemanuele@gmail.com/

Which does sound like it fixes something that sounds very similar
to this problem. So trying that patch on top of v7.4-rc2 is also
probably a good idea.

Thanks,
Charles

Applied it over latest 7.4.0-rc2+. Also installed
linux-firmware-misc_20260915.git1522c78a-0ubuntu1_all.deb as their LTS
version lacks *17aa383c* files.

The NULL ptr dereference is gone, but

I suspect it is failing because of that topology file that
failed. Such a file doesn't appear to exist in the sof repo that
I can see. I think the best next step here would be to get Intel
involved, probably the best would be to open a ticket on the sof
GitHub:

https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues

If you could CC myself on that as well. If possible it would
still be worth trying 7.3 as well. In theory this laptop was
confirmed as working which does suggest there is perhaps a second
regression going on here:

Thanks,

It turned out there were alsa-related entries in a modprobe*.conf
(added by Ubuntu and/or possibly by the laptop's owner). Removed
the options.

7.3.4: added the ghost_rt711 quirk patch (already in v7.4).

7.4-rc2: added the ASoC: soc-core: reset rtd->num_components after
allocation patch from Emanuele Ghidoli.

Now the laptop shows certain output devices in GUI mixers. They are
... silent, though. This is now similar on 7.3.4 and 7.4-rc2. The only
visible difference is that 7.4-rc2 warns about the ssp2-bt-id8:
sof_sdw sof_sdw: Failed to open topology file: intel/sof-ipc4-tplg/sof-lnl-ssp2-bt-id8.tplg, ...
and 7.3.4 does not.

I have no idea how does the SOF/soundwire work. But (using 7.4-rc2
at the moment) I killed the wireplumber/pipewire daemons, and
alsamixer/amixer -c0 both start, showing many controls (139, not
counting input). Experimented a bit with them, and now is seems
aplay *.wav -D plughw:CARD=sofsoundwire,DEV=5 produces sound on the
built-in speaker(s). Then.. pipewire works now, so I consider this
problem solved. It also works on 7.3.4+.

Thank you, and sorry for the false alarm.
