In build_adc_controls(), there is an if statement on line 773 to check whether ak->adc_info is NULL: if (! ak->adc_info || ! ak->adc_info[mixer_ch].switch_name) When ak->adc_info is NULL, it is used on line 792: knew.name = ak->adc_info[mixer_ch].selector_name; Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur. To fix this bug, referring to lines 773 and 774, ak->adc_info and ak->adc_info[mixer_ch].selector_name are checked before being used. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
