The patch

   ASoC: wm_adsp: Fix theoretical NULL pointer for alg_region

has been applied to the asoc tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-5.4

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: wm_adsp: Fix theoretical NULL pointer for alg_region

Fix potential NULL pointer dereference for alg_region in
wm_adsp_buffer_parse_legacy. In practice this can never happen as
loading the firmware should have failed at the wm_adsp2_setup_algs
stage, however probably better for the code to be robust against
future changes and this is more helpful for static analysis.
