Title
ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix possible null-ptr-deref when initing hw
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix possible null-ptr-deref when initing hw Search result of avs_dai_find_path_template() shall be verified before being used. As 'template' is already known when avs_hw_constraints_init() is fired, drop the search entirely.
