Subject: [PATCH 3.18 11/57] ASoC: simple-card: Fix crash in asoc_simple_card_unref()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@...der.be>

commit 7ddfdb5c5a5b51bdd2cb749d8341d763b079d520 upstream.

If asoc_simple_card_probe() fails, asoc_simple_card_unref() may be
called before dev_set_drvdata(), causing a NULL pointer dereference in
asoc_simple_card_unref():

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d4
    ...
    PC is at asoc_simple_card_unref+0x14/0x48
    LR is at asoc_simple_card_probe+0x3d4/0x40c

This typically happens because asoc_simple_card_parse_of() returns
-EPROBE_DEFER, but other failure modes are possible.
devm_snd_soc_register_card()/snd_soc_register_card() may fail either
before or after dev_set_drvdata().

Pass a snd_soc_card pointer instead of a platform_device pointer to
asoc_simple_card_unref() to fix this.

Note that if CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC=n, of_node_put() is a dummy, and gcc may
optimize away the loop over card->dai_link, never actually dereferencing
card, and thus avoiding the crash...
