ALSA firewire-motu driver recently got support for event notification via ALSA HwDep interface for register DSP models. However, when polling ALSA HwDep cdev, the driver can cause null pointer dereference for the other models due to accessing to unallocated memory or uninitialized memory. This commit fixes the bug by check the type of model before accessing to the memory.

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 Restructured Text 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.
