Dear Takashi,
maybe I am mistaken or have not made my patch clear, please let me apologise.

With commits bbbc7e85 and 751e2216, a for-loop was restated using list_for_each_entry(...); originally, a local pcm* was extracted from an array and checked against NULL, if not-NULL then passed along to snd_pcm_add_chmap_ctls(...).
For a history of the function in question, have a look at lines 2430ff for git diff v4.0 v4.1 sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c
The two commits that touched this function are Commit bbbc7e8502c9 ("ALSA: hda - Allocate hda_pcm objects dynamically") Commit 751e2216899c ("ALSA: hda: fix possible null dereference")
where the latter only fixes the order of two fixes, but not the pcm / pcm->pcm confusion.
Thanks for the patch. But this was already fixed by commit 751e2216899c in 4.1-rc1.
So I re-checked and diff'ed against the current v4.2-rc8 and found that the if-statement reads, /sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c, line 3172: if (!pcm || pcm->own_chmap || while I propose if (!pcm->pcm || pcm->own_chmap ||
With the mentioned 751e2216899c I do get a NULL dereference (for whatever reason), because pcm->pcm can indeed by NULL inside the loop. Please reconsider the patch:

Thanks for your time, Markus
