The patch below fixes a clear bug in the code path.
Could you check whether it'll fit?


thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: seq: Fix missing error handling in snd_seq_timer_open()

snd_seq_timer_open() didn't catch the whole error path but let through
if the timer id is a slave. This may lead to Oops by accessing the
uninitialized pointer.
