Substate priority levels are encoded in 4 bits in the LPM_PRI register. This value was used as an index to an array whose element size was less than 16, leading to the possibility of overflow should we read a larger than expected priority. In addition to the overflow, bad values could lead to incorrect state reporting. So rework the priority code to prevent the overflow and perform some validation of the register. Use the priority register values if they give an ordering of unique numbers between 0 and the maximum number of states. Otherwise, use a default ordering instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
