[PATCH] sound: hdmi: avoid dereferencing uninitialized 'jack' pointer

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Feb 16 2016 - 09:48:34 EST


When CONFIG_SND_JACK is disabled, the hdmi driver tries to create
a new output jack structure and dereferences it even though
the pointer is never assigned:

sound/pci/hda/patch_hdmi.c: In function 'generic_hdmi_build_jack':
sound/pci/hda/patch_hdmi.c:2534:30: error: 'jack' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
sound/pci/hda/patch_hdmi.c:2526:19: note: 'jack' was declared here

This uses a compile-time check to avoid calling a nonworking
snd_jack_new() function, and sets an explicit NULL pointer instead.
