Hello Takashi Iwai,

The patch da8648097497: "ALSA: x86: Flatten two abstraction layers"
from Jan 31, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning:

	sound/x86/intel_hdmi_audio.c:1702 hdmi_lpe_audio_probe()
	error: strcpy() '"IntelHdmiLpeAudio"' too large for 'card->driver' (18 vs 16)

sound/x86/intel_hdmi_audio.c
  1695          ctx = card->private_data;
  1696          spin_lock_init(&ctx->had_spinlock);
  1697          mutex_init(&ctx->mutex);
  1698          ctx->connected = false;
  1699          ctx->dev = &pdev->dev;
  1700          ctx->card = card;
  1701          ctx->aes_bits = SNDRV_PCM_DEFAULT_CON_SPDIF;
  1702          strcpy(card->driver, INTEL_HAD);
                                     ^^^^^^^^^
Too long.  We're corrupting memory.  The old code was equally bad, but
the renaming the function made it show up as a new warning...

  1703          strcpy(card->shortname, INTEL_HAD);
  1704  

regards,
dan carpenter
