commit d7789f5bcd upstream.
Normal 512-byte get/set of a TLV isn't supported but we were
registering the normal get/set anyway and relying on omitting
the SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_[READ|WRITE] flags to prevent them
being called.
Trouble is if this gets broken in the core ALSA code - as it has
been since at least 4.14 - the standard get/set can be called
unexpectedly and corrupt memory.
There's no point providing functions that won't be called and
it's a trivial change. The benefit is that if the ALSA core gets
broken again we get a big fat immediate NULL dereference instead
of a memory corruption timebomb.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
