Given that "saddr" probably means "sub-address", that "saddr_len"
probably means "sub-address length", that saddr is only a 16 bit value,
and this switch in cx231xx_send_usb_command():
/* set index value */
switch (saddr_len) {
case 0:
ven_req.wIndex = 0; /* need check */
break;
case 1:
ven_req.wIndex = (req_data->saddr_dat & 0xff);
break;
case 2:
ven_req.wIndex = req_data->saddr_dat;
break;
}
and noting that "req_data->saddr_dat" holds what was "saddr";
the if statement, and the many others like it, should probably be:
if (saddr_len == 0)
saddr = 0;
else if (saddr_len == 1) <----- == 1
saddr &= 0xff;
