Thanks for pointing out and fixing this. This check was obviously 
missing there. I did a quick verification on few of our platforms, 
encountered no issues, so:

     Reviewed-by: Mateusz Gorski <mateusz.gorski@...ux.intel.com>


Also, could you please:

- describe the affected configuration (used machine driver or audio card 
name, device name),
- share full dmesg logs from one of said crashes,
- copy the output of "amixer -c0 controls" command executed on affected 
device.

These would be useful information for us to further improve our 
validation and help us with debugging.


Thanks,

Mateusz
