From 42068f7dd42b559c4eeae645e1455ff36518866a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ranjani Sridharan Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 10:18:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: Fix NULL pointer dereference [ Upstream commit 16c589567a956d46a7c1363af3f64de3d420af20 ] If there's a mismatch between the DAI links in the machine driver and the topology, it is possible that the playback/capture widget is not set, especially in the case of loopback capture for echo reference where we use the dummy DAI link. Return the error when the widget is not set to avoid a null pointer dereference like below when the topology is broken.
