[PATCH] ASoC: rt711-sdca: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when IO error

[PATCH] ASoC: rt711-sdca: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when IO error

[shumingf]

From: Shuming Fan <shumingf@realtek.com>

The initial settings will be written before the codec probe function.
But, the rt711->component doesn't be assigned yet.
If IO error happened during initial settings operations, it will cause the kernel panic.
This patch changed component->dev to slave->dev to fix this issue.

      commit: f69a10f84cb5ff0b1c6aef0e19e866bbe53ec7ea

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
