[alsa-devel] [PATCH 01/17] soundwire: intel: prevent possible dereference in hw_params

[Pierre-Louis Bossart]

This should not happen in production systems but we should test for
all callback arguments before invoking the config_stream callback.

Update the prototype to clarify that the first argument is mandatory.

Also use local variable instead of multiple dereferences to improve
readability.
