In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: imx-card: Add NULL check in imx_card_probe()

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently, imx_card_probe() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.
