Apologies for this one, is a little strange. I am assuming either
we end up with a NULL widget or more likely given the line
number a NULL path/widget on the path. Having some difficulty seeing
how we get into that state though.

Could you confirm what machine driver/DT is being used here? I am
assuming this is arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-odroidu3.dts and
sound/soc/samsung/odroid.c. So will investigate those see if I
can find anything.

And could you try this diff and send through the output:
