data setup\n\nsnd_es18xx_mixer() creates controls with snd_ctl_new1() and then stores\nbookkeeping pointers or sets private_free before calling snd_ctl_add().\nsnd_ctl_new1() can return NULL on allocation failure, so those writes\ncan dereference a NULL control pointer.\n\nCheck the returned control pointers before using them and return -ENOMEM\non allocation
