For us it fixes a kernel null deref that happens when we run the
MultipleEncoders test (I've verified this to be true).

This is the main thing it fixes (this is where the null deref occurs).
If there's multiple instances in use and the other instance hasn't
populated the codec_freq_data pointer then we'll hit a null deref
here.
