Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: i2c: ak4xxx-adda: Fix a possible null pointer dereference in build_adc_controls()

In build_adc_controls(), there is an if statement on line 773 to check
whether ak->adc_info is NULL:
if (! ak->adc_info ||
! ak->adc_info[mixer_ch].switch_name)

When ak->adc_info is NULL, it is used on line 792:
knew.name = ak->adc_info[mixer_ch].selector_name;

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, referring to lines 773 and 774, ak->adc_info
and ak->adc_info[mixer_ch].selector_name are checked before being used.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

The code change itself looks good, but please follow the standard
coding style. In short: please run checkpatch.pl, fix errors (some
warnings may be ignored) and resubmit.


thanks,

Okay, thanks for the advice.
I will send a v2 patch.
