4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Liam Girdwood <liam.r.girdwood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e01b4f624278d5efe5fb5da585ca371947b16680 ] Sometime a component or topology may configure a DAI widget with no private data leading to a dev_dbg() dereferencne of this data. Fix this to check for non NULL private data and let users know if widget is missing DAI.
