From: Ajit Kumar Pandey <AjitKumar.Pandey@xxxxxxx> We are accessing "desc->ops" in sof_pci_probe without checking "desc" pointer. This results in NULL pointer exception if pci_id->driver_data i.e desc pointer isn't defined in sof device probe: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000060 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:sof_pci_probe+0x1e/0x17f [snd_sof_pci] Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffc043dff4. RSP: 0018:ffffac4b03b9b8d8 EFLAGS: 00010246 Add NULL pointer check for sof_dev_desc pointer to avoid such exception.
