Well, that was my original approach while I realized problem
is caused by de-referencing a null pointer to its member of
'widget' list.

i.e.
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/331285/3/sound/soc/soc-dap
m.c

+   if (WARN_ON(!codec->component.card))
+       return 0;
+

Additional remark is that I was working on chromium-os v3.18 kernel,
so that the interface and argument are sort of different than what
I then cherry-pick'ed then sent, which was based on latest 4.5.

Then I was stuck at here couple days keeping hunting root cause,
Turned out I found that commit skipped probing dummy component.

Long story short.
