make KCFLAGS='-fanalyzer' sound/soc/sof/intel/ reports a possible NULL pointer dereference. sound/soc/sof/topology.c:1136:21: error: dereference of NULL ‘w’ [CWE-476] [-Werror=analyzer-null-dereference] 1136 | strcmp(w->sname, rtd->dai_link->stream_name)) The code is rather confusing and can be simplified to make static analysis happy. No functionality change.
