[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2] ALSA: control: Add sanity checks for user ctl id name string

[Takashi Iwai]

There was no check about the id string of user control elements, so we
accepted even a control element with an empty string, which is
obviously bogus.  This patch adds more sanity checks of id strings.
