From: Kai Vehmanen <kai.vehmanen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If sof_machine_check() fails during driver probe, the IPC state is not initialized and this will lead to a NULL dereference at driver unload. Example log is as follows: [ 1535.980630] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: no matching ASoC machine driver found - aborting probe [ 1535.980631] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: failed to get machine info -19 [ 1535.980632] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: sof_probe_work failed err: -19 [ 1550.798373] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008 ...
