[PATCH] ASoC: soc-utils: Check string pointer validity in snd_soc_dlc_is_dummy()

In the recently added snd_soc_dlc_is_dummy(), the helper uses the .name
and .dai_name fields without checking their validity.
For .name, this field is NULL if the component is matched by .of_node
instead. In fact, only one of these fields may be set. This caused a
NULL pointer dereference on MediaTek MT8195 and MT8188 platforms with
the subsequent conversion to snd_soc_dlc_is_dummy() in their machine
drivers. The codecs are all matches through the device tree, so their
.name fields are empty.
For .dai_name, there are cases where this field is empty, such as for
the following component definitions:
#define COMP_EMPTY() { }
#define COMP_PLATFORM(_name) { .name = _name }
#define COMP_AUX(_name) { .name = _name }
#define COMP_CODEC_CONF(_name) { .name = _name }
Or the single link CPU DAI case in the simple audio card family, as
covered by simple_util_canonicalize_cpu(), in which the .dai_name
field is explicitly cleared.
To fix this, check the validity of the fields before using them in
string comparison.
