The bug is here:
err = snd_card_cs423x_pnp(dev, card->private_data, pdev, cdev);
The list iterator value 'cdev' will *always* be set and non-NULL
by list_for_each_entry(), so it is incorrect to assume that the
iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element
is found.
To fix the bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator,
while use the original variable 'cdev' as a dedicated pointer
to point to the found element. And snd_card_cs423x_pnp() itself
has NULL check for cdev.
