I believe this was introduced by commit cc66b3038254 (hwmon: (nct6775)
Rework temperature source and label handling), but the same issue was
already present before.

I don't think so. The code used to be
for (i = 0; i < data->temp_label_num - 1; i++) {
Notice the "- 1". So it should be
for (i = 0; i < 31; i++) {

In practice it doesn't matter because "data->temp_mask & BIT(31 + 1)"
will always be false, causing the last loop iteration to abort, but
it is nevertheless wrong.

Thanks a lot for the report. I'll prepare a patch.

Thank you for the instant response. I tested your proposed change, and, as expected, the error is gone.


Kind regards,

Paul
