[PATCH] staging: comedi: ni_at_a2150: range check board index

From: Ian Abbott
Date: Mon Sep 01 2014 - 09:13:44 EST


The "ni_at_a2150" driver determines the board type by calling
`a2150_probe()`. This reads a register and converts it to a board index
in the range 0 to 3. However, the board table array it indexes into
(`a2150_boards[]`) only has 2 entries. Return an error from the
Comedi driver "attach" handler `a2150_attach()` if the probed board
index is beyond the end of the array.
