Subject: [PATCH v2] soc: soc-dapm: fix two incorrect uses of list iterator

These two bug are here:
list_for_each_entry_safe_continue(w, n, list,
power_list);
list_for_each_entry_safe_continue(w, n, list,
power_list);

After the list_for_each_entry_safe_continue() exits, the list iterator
will always be a bogus pointer which point to an invalid struct objdect
containing HEAD member. The funciton poniter 'w->event' will be a
invalid value which can lead to a control-flow hijack if the 'w' can be
controlled.

The original intention was to continue the outer list_for_each_entry_safe()
loop with the same entry if w->event is NULL, but misunderstanding the
meaning of list_for_each_entry_safe_continue().

So just add a 'continue;' to fix the bug.

[1/1] soc: soc-dapm: fix two incorrect uses of list iterator
commit: f730a46b931d894816af34a0ff8e4ad51565b39f

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
