[alsa-devel] hdsp: potential oops in snd_hdsp_info_pref_sync_ref()

My static check complains that there is a potential oops here but I'm
not sure what the correct fix is.

sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c
  2631          switch (hdsp->io_type) {
  2632          case Digiface:
  2633          case H9652:
  2634                  uinfo->value.enumerated.items = 6;
  2635                  break;
  2636          case Multiface:
  2637                  uinfo->value.enumerated.items = 4;
  2638                  break;
  2639          case H9632:
  2640                  uinfo->value.enumerated.items = 3;
  2641                  break;
  2642          default:
  2643                  uinfo->value.enumerated.items = 0;
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We set this to zero here.

  2644                  break;
  2645          }
  2646  
  2647          if (uinfo->value.enumerated.item >= uinfo->value.enumerated.items)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
enumerated.item is unsigned int so it's always greater or equal to zero.

  2648                  uinfo->value.enumerated.item = uinfo->value.enumerated.items - 1;

We set it to UINT_MAX here.

  2649          strcpy(uinfo->value.enumerated.name, texts[uinfo->value.enumerated.item]);
                                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Reading UINT_MAX beyond the end of the array here will probably oops.

  2650          return 0;

There is a similar issue in snd_asihpi_cmode_info().
