ASoC: Intel: atom: remove static analysis false positive
make KCFLAGS='-fanalyzer' sound/soc/intel/atom/ reports a possible NULL pointer dereference. sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/sst_stream.c:221:40: error: dereference of NULL ‘block’ [CWE-476] [-Werror=analyzer-null-dereference] 221 | unsigned char *r = block->data; This is a false-positive, the GCC analyzer generated that report by considering if (bytes->block) as true in some cases and false in others. We can simplify the code and use a local variable so that static analysis does not try to look for cases where bytes->block can be modified concurrently.
