[PATCH v2 1/1] ASoC: Intel: Atom: add a missing star in a memcpy call

From: Nicolas Iooss
Date: Sun Aug 28 2016 - 15:11:00 EST


In sst_prepare_and_post_msg(), when a response is received in "block",
the following code gets executed:

*data = kzalloc(block->size, GFP_KERNEL);
memcpy(data, (void *) block->data, block->size);

The memcpy() call overwrites the content of the *data pointer instead of
filling the newly-allocated memory (which pointer is hold by *data).
Fix this by merging kzalloc+memcpy into a single kmemdup() call.

Thanks Joe Perches for suggesting using kmemdup()

Fixes: 60dc8dbacb00 ("ASoC: Intel: sst: Add some helper functions")
