Describe the bug
We have seen randomly in CI testbench test case unrelated valgrind fails. E.g. in #8230 in cavs2.5-001-drop-stable

It caused by effort to memcpy to a null pointer:

The compile time initialized value in the struct from C preprocessor and macro is SOF_RT_UUID(eq_iir_uuid) is ((void *)0). The macro is possibly incorrect for testbench in this cavs2.5 branch.

To Reproduce
scripts/host-testbench.sh

Reproduction Rate
Unknown, possibly only with cavs2.5-001-drop-stable

Expected behavior
Pass the valgrind test

Impact
Annoyance, false failures in CI unless proven it can happen outside testbench env.

Environment

1. Branch name and commit hash of the 2 repositories: sof (firmware/topology) and linux (kernel driver).
   • Kernel: {SHA}
   • SOF: 85732fb
2. Name of the topology file
   • Topology: test-playback-ssp5-mclk-0-I2S-eq-iir-s16le-s16le-48k-24576k-codec.tplg
3. Name of the platform(s) on which the bug is observed.
   • Platform: testbench x86
