Subject: [PATCH 5.10 47/74] ASoC: cpcap: Check for NULL pointer after calling of_get_child_by_name

From: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@...as.ac.cn>

commit f7a6021aaf02088870559f82fc13c58cda7fea1a upstream.

If the device does not exist, of_get_child_by_name() will return NULL
pointer.
And devm_snd_soc_register_component() does not check it.
Also, I have noticed that cpcap_codec_driver has not been used yet.
Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to avoid the future
dereference of the NULL pointer.
