[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda: Abort capability probe at invalid register read

[Takashi Iwai]

The loop in snd_hdac_bus_parse_capabilities() may go to nirvana when
it hits an invalid register value read:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffad5dc41f3fff
 IP: pci_azx_readl+0x5/0x10 [snd_hda_intel]
 Call Trace:
  snd_hdac_bus_parse_capabilities+0x3c/0x1f0 [snd_hda_core]
  azx_probe_continue+0x7d5/0x940 [snd_hda_intel]
  .....

This happened on a new Intel machine, and we need to check the value
and abort the loop accordingly.

[Note: the fixes tag below indicates only the commit where this patch
 can be applied; the original problem was introduced even before that
 commit]
