[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Fix an OOB bug in uac_mixer_unit_bmControls

`uac_mixer_unit_get_channels` calls `uac_mixer_unit_bmControls`
to get pointer to bmControls field. The current implementation of
`uac_mixer_unit_get_channels` does properly check the size of
uac_mixer_unit_descriptor descriptor and may allow OOB access
in `uac_mixer_unit_bmControls`.
