Subject: [PATCH][next] ASoC: rsnd: check for zero node count

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

The call to rsnd_node_count can potentially return a zero node count
so add a check for this corner case. (Note that the two other calls
to rsnd_node_count in the kernel perform this check, so I think it
justifies adding this). This avoids using a zero nr in a devm_kcalloc
call.

I don't have a problem with the patch, but really the code works fine
as is. A better commit message is:

Most callers of_get_child_count() check that "nr" is non-zero so it
causes a static checker warning when we don't do that here. This
doesn't cause a problem or a crash, but having zero SSUIes (What's
plural of ssui?) doesn't make sense either so let's add a check.

For the code

Good idea. I'll send a V2. Thanks Dan.
