[alsa-devel] [PATCH 3/3] ALSA: core: set kcontrol's count field correctly

[Lu Guanqun]

I don't see how info's owner field relates to kcontrol's count field. It should
assign to info's count instead.

Let's assume this scenario:

1. user reads the control element from kernel (the owner field is set)
2. user changes some values
3. user issues 'SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE' ioctl.

With the original code, 'kctl' here gets a large count number due to its
non-empty owner field. Therefore it fails on subsequent call snd_ctl_new().

This patch fixes this issue.
