Re: [alsa-devel] [patch] ALSA: usb/mixer: remove bogus cast

"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.
This cast was for the old crappy gcc who spews bogus warnings when compared with signed and unsigned ints. The kernel sets a compile flag for avoiding this since long time ago, so we can get rid of such cast gracefully now, indeed.
I also changed the strcpy() to strlcpy() out of paranoia.

Applied now. Thanks.
