+Subject: ASoC: soc-compress: Change the check for codec_dai
+
+From: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn>
+
+commit ccb4214f7f2a8b75acf493f31128e464ee1a3536 upstream.
+
+It should be better to reverse the check on codec_dai
+and returned early in order to be easier to understand.
+
+Fixes: de2c6f98817f ("ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer")
