Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ASoC: soc-core: care NULL dirver name on snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked()<br />
<br />
soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm.c uses same dev for both CPU and Platform.<br />
In such case, CPU component driver might not have driver->name, then<br />
snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked() will be NULL pointer access error.<br />
Care NULL driver name.<br />
<br />
