The bug is here:
	*dai_name = dai->driver->name;

For for_each_component_dais, just like list_for_each_entry,
the list iterator 'dai' will point to a bogus position
containing HEAD if the list is empty or no element is found.
This case must be checked before any use of the iterator,
otherwise it will lead to a invalid memory access.

To fix the bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator,
while use the original variable 'dai' as a dedicated pointer
to point to the found element.

From "code" point of view, indeed current code doesn't care non-find case,
but from "logic" point of view, it should find target DAI here.

If it couldn't find the DAI, it means
"This is the target component, but it doesn't have target DAI",
and it is very strange for me.

If you got such bug, it is CPU or Codec driver side bug, I think.
If this is for security reason, indicating such message somewhere
(for example by /* comment */) is nice idea for me.

Thank you for your help !!

Best regards
