[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: simple_card_utils: fix fallback when "label" property isn't present

[Lucas Stach]

snd_soc_of_parse_card_name() doesn't return an error if the requested
property isn't present, but silently fails to fill the card name. This can
not be changed, as it is a backwards compatibility measure itself.

We can not rely on the return value of this function alone, but must check
if the card name has been filled sucessfully when deciding to skip the
fallback path, which is in place for existing users.

                     asoc_simple_card_parse_card_name)

This may be applied instead of the revert I just sent. After examining the
function more closely, the fix seems easy enough to go into 4.13 final.
