It'd probably be better to return true or false on
successful conversion, use a temporary struct dsp_uuid,
check the sscanf return is 10 and only copy to uuid_obj
on success.

Something like:

static bool dcd_uuid_from_string(char *sz_uuid, struct dsp_uuid *uuid_obj)
{
	char c;
	u64 t;
	struct dsp_uuid tmp;

	/*
	 * sscanf implementation cannot deal with hh format modifier
	 * if the converted value doesn't fit in u32. So, convert the
	 * last six bytes to u64 and memcpy what is needed
	 */
	if (sscanf(sz_uuid, "%8x%c%4hx%c%4hx%c%2hhx%2hhx%c%llx",
		   &tmp.data1, &c, &tmp.data2, &c,
		   &tmp.data3, &c, &tmp.data4,
		   &tmp.data5, &c, &t) != 10)
		return false;

	t = cpu_to_be64(t);
	memcpy(&tmp.data6[0], ((char*)&t) + 2, 6);
	*uuid_obj =  tmp;

	return true;
}
