The description was not clear to me.

May be something like this:

"
The max value of "ratio" parameter passed to the function
get_compensation() is MAX_TARGET_RATIO - 1. The size of cal_data array
is MAX_TARGET_RATIO. Hence, accessing cal_data[ratio + 1], will result
in out of bound access.

Add a condition to check ratio < MAX_TARGET_RATIO - 1, before accsssing
cal_data[ratio + 1].
"

The change is correct. But for actual code change,
the ratio < MAX_TARGET_RATIO - 1 is also checked in else if() before,
which can be merged to check only once for this condition.

Thanks,
Srinivas

I think the concern is that cal_data[ratio + 1] is going out of bound
for the "ratio" passed to this function, when ratio ==
ARRAY_SIZE(cal_data) - 1;

Here size of cal_data array is 50. The max possible "ratio" passed can
be 49.
