[alsa-devel] [patch] ALSA: asihpi - off by one in asihpi_hpi_ioctl()

"adapter" is used as an array index in the adapters[] array so
the off by one would make us read past the end.

1c073b67979 "ALSA: asihpi - Remove spurious adapter index check"
reverted Dan Rosenburg's check that would have prevented the
overflow here.

Also it moved the initialization of "pa" down a couple lines so I'm
concerned there may be a bogus derereference here when we check
pa->type.  I don't have the hardware, so I can't test this.
