The __component_match_add function may assign the 'matchptr' pointer
the value ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM), which will subsequently be dereferenced.
The call stack leading to the error looks like this:
hda_component_manager_init
|-> component_match_add
|-> component_match_add_release
|-> __component_match_add ( ... ,**matchptr, ... )
|-> *matchptr = ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); // assign
|-> component_master_add_with_match( ... match)
|-> component_match_realloc(match, match->num); // dereference
Add IS_ERR() check to prevent the crash.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
