5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.i.king@xxxxxxxxx> commit 011b559be832194f992f73d6c0d5485f5925a10b upstream. Pointer substream is being dereferenced on the assignment of pointer card before substream is being null checked with the macro PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK. Although PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK calls BUG_ON, it still is useful to perform the the pointer check before card is assigned.
