The patch

   ASoC: topology: Use the correct dobj to free enum control values and texts

has been applied to the asoc tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: topology: Use the correct dobj to free enum control
 values and texts

The control values and texts of the enum kcontrol associated
with a widget need to be freed when the widget is removed.
However, both struct snd_soc_dapm_widget and struct soc_enum
contain a dobj member, which resulted in a confusion.
The existing code generates a null pointer dereference by
attempting to free the values and texts from the dobj which
belongs to the widget instead of the dobj belonging to the
enum kcontrol.

The suggested fix is to use the correct dobj member (se->dobj)
of the enum kcontrol.
