[PATCH] ti-st: fix NULL dereference on protocol type check

[Gustavo Padovan]

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the type we receive is greater than ST_MAX_CHANNELS we can't rely on
type as vector index since we would be accessing unknown memory when we use the type
as index.

 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001b
 pgd = c0004000
 [0000001b] *pgd=00000000
