[alsa-devel] [PATCH for-4.11] ASoC: don't dereference NULL pcm_{new, free}

Hi Brian

Thank you for your feedback

Hmm...

The crasher was snd_dmaengine_pcm_register's platform ?
This means, in your current kernel, dmaengine platform dosn't call
its .pcm_new (= dmaengine_pcm_new) somehow ?

I'm wondering why ->pcm_new became NULL which exists on probe timing ?
Can you check component and driver by this patch ?
This is very rough but enough for debug
