[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: asihpi - Clarify adapter index validity check

[linux at audioscience.com]

From: Eliot Blennerhassett <eblennerhassett at audioscience.com>

Avoids assigning possibly invalid address to pa, even if it
is never dereferenced.
Correct error response to reflect request object/function ids.
