This is bogus.

Unless you are going to do all of the work necessary to fix
the out-of-bounds condition here, you cannot safely continue
into the rest of this function.

Things are going to explode in many places if you don't, at
a minimum, fix the 'count' value to be in range.

But like others I don't like this, the driver needs to be fixed
urgently if this condition triggers.

Sorry I'm not applying this.
