tplg_copy_data() should set the valid referenced data element pointer.
The caller will double check this pointer for all kinds of references,
including TLV, controls, text and data.

Also fix an inaccurate dmesg.

It's better to split to two patches for the different aims. Accumulating
patches to log history is preferable, as long as you have concrete wills
to improve codes, I believe.

I wonder why the assignment is done in this line. This function still
includes some codes to return errors. In this case, it's better to code
the assignment in last part of the function.

This is a public API. It's better not to touch application's objects in
invalid cases.

Oops. I overlooked. It's in src/topology/tplg_local.h and not a public
API... Anyway, it's better to consider about the error cases for
consistency of object state.

Okay. I split them in v2.

Yes. It's better to move to the end of this function, only on success.
Also fixed this in v2 series "topology: Fix for handling widgets' references"

Thanks for your review!
