[PATCH 2/5] soundwire: bus_type: protect cases where no driver name is provided

From: Pierre-Louis Bossart
Date: Fri Mar 20 2020 - 12:30:08 EST


When the implementation only creates a sdw_master_device and does not
provide a master_name, we have a risk of kernel oopses with dereferences
of a NULL pointer.

Protect with explicit tests.
