[PATCH 6.19 240/844] ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: Fix NULL pointer dereference

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ranjani Sridharan <ranjani.sridharan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 16c589567a956d46a7c1363af3f64de3d420af20 ]

If there's a mismatch between the DAI links in the machine driver and
the topology, it is possible that the playback/capture widget is not
set, especially in the case of loopback capture for echo reference
where we use the dummy DAI link. Return the error when the widget is not
set to avoid a null pointer dereference like below when the topology is
broken.

RIP: 0010:hda_dai_get_ops.isra.0+0x14/0xa0 [snd_sof_intel_hda_common]
