[PATCH] staging: bcm2835-audio: Validate values written to controls

From: Mark Brown
Date: Tue Apr 15 2025 - 09:35:18 EST


The bcm2835-audio driver makes no effort to validate the values it accepts
from userspace, causing it to accept invalid values:

# # PCM Playback Switch.0 Invalid boolean value 2
# not ok 5 write_invalid.Headphones.1
# # PCM Playback Volume.0 value -10240 less than minimum -10239
# # PCM Playback Volume.0 value 401 more than maximum 400
# not ok 12 write_invalid.Headphones.0

Add validation.
