This shouldn't happen with the latest ASoC as there is support for NULL
default caches.  In particular the following code should be taking care
of the NULL pointer dereference

if (codec_drv->reg_cache_default) {
	codec->reg_def_copy = kmemdup(...);
	if (!codec->reg_def_copy) {
		ret = -ENOMEM;
		goto fail;
	}
}

If this is not what soc-core looks like for you please pull broonie's
latest development tree.

Thanks,
