If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai commit 43a3542870328601be02fcc9d27b09db467336ef upstream. The use of snd_BUG_ON() in ALSA sequencer timer may lead to a spurious WARN_ON() when a slave timer is deployed as its backend and a corresponding master timer stops meanwhile. The symptom was triggered by syzkaller spontaneously. Since the NULL timer is valid there, rip off snd_BUG_ON().
