If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai commit 66efdc71d95887b652a742a5dae51fa834d71465 upstream. 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.
