[alsa-devel] [PATCH 4/4] ALSA: compress: prevent potential divide by zero bugs

The problem is seen in the q6asm_dai_compr_set_params() function:

	ret = q6asm_map_memory_regions(dir, prtd->audio_client, prtd->phys,
				       (prtd->pcm_size / prtd->periods),
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
				       prtd->periods);

In this code prtd->pcm_size is the buffer_size and prtd->periods comes
from params->buffer.fragments.  If we allow the number of fragments to
be zero then it results in a divide by zero bug.  One possible fix would
be to use prtd->pcm_count directly instead of using the division to
re-calculate it.  But I decided that it doesn't really make sense to
allow zero fragments.

I am not very sure of this patch.  Please review it extra carefully
because it is an API change.
