commit c2432466f583cb719b35a41e757da587d9ab1d00 upstream.
We got a regression report about the HD-audio HDMI chmap, where some
surround channels are reported as UNKNOWN. The git bisection pointed
the culprit at the commit 9b3dc8aa3fb1 ("ALSA: hda - Register chmap
obj as priv data instead of codec"). The story behind scene is like
this:
- While moving the code out of the legacy HDA to the HDA common place,
the patch modifies the code to obtain the chmap array indirectly in
a byte array, and it expands it to kctl value array.
- At the latter operation, the size of the array is wrongly passed by
sizeof() to the pointer.
- It can be 4 on 32bit arch, thus too short for 6+ channels.
(And that's the reason why it didn't hit other persons; it's 8 on
64bit arch, thus it's usually enough.)
The code was further changed meanwhile, but the problem persisted.
Let's fix it by correctly evaluating the array size.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
