Looks like a NULL codec (driver has offsetof of 0x4).

static ssize_t soc_codec_reg_show(struct snd_soc_codec *codec, char *buf,
                                  size_t count, loff_t pos)
{
...
        loff_t p = 0;

        wordsize = min_bytes_needed(codec->driver->reg_cache_size) * 2;
        regsize = codec->driver->reg_word_size * 2;
...

This would paper over it. I have no idea that the lifetime expectation
are for codec and driver...
