Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

CC'ing Jacopo.

This is triggerable by userspace, it shouldn't result in a WARN_ON().
Ideally the horiz_zones_num and vert_zones_num should be validated at
buf prepare time, and an error should be returned to userspace. That
will likely not fix your smatch issue though, I don't think it will be
able to understand that the values have been validated.

Jacopo, do we need to add a validate function pointer to
v4l2_isp_params_block_type_info ?
