5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Murad Masimov <m.masimov@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c9bd4a82b4ed32c6d1c90500a52063e6e341517f ] If snd_hda_gen_add_kctl fails to allocate memory and returns NULL, then NULL pointer dereference will occur in the next line. Since dolphin_fixups function is a hda_fixup function which is not supposed to return any errors, add simple check before dereference, ignore the fail. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
