There are some use cases where you're checking for a lot of things on a card and it makes sense that you might end up trying to call snd_soc_find_component() without either a name or an of_node. Currently in that case we try to dereference the name and crash but it's more useful to allow the caller to just treat that as a case where we don't find anything, that error handling will already exist.
Inspired by a patch from Ajit Pandey fixing some callers.
