Subject: [patch] ALSA: usb/mixer: remove bogus cast
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2010 18:13:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100916181347.GC7867@bicker> (raw)

"uinfo->value.enumerated.item" is an unsigned int.  If it's negative
when we do the comparison:
	if ((int)uinfo->value.enumerated.item >= cval->max)
then we would read past the end of the array on the next line.

I also changed the strcpy() to strlcpy() out of paranoia.
