[PATCH] ASoC: qcom: q6apm-lpass-dais: Fix NULL pointer dereference if source graph failed

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Fri Aug 15 2025 - 07:42:19 EST


If earlier opening of source graph fails (e.g. ADSP rejects due to
incorrect audioreach topology), the graph is closed and
"dai_data->graph[dai->id]" is assigned NULL. Preparing the DAI for sink
graph continues though and next call to q6apm_lpass_dai_prepare()
receives dai_data->graph[dai->id]=NULL leading to NULL pointer
exception:
