When CONFIG_SND_CTL_VALIDATION is set, accesses to extended bytes
control generate spurious error messages when the size exceeds 512
bytes, such as
[ 11.224223] sof_sdw sof_sdw: control 2:0:0:EQIIR5.0 eqiir_coef_5:0:
invalid count 1024
In addition the error check returns -EINVAL which has the nasty side
effect of preventing applications accessing controls from working,
e.g.
root@plb:~# alsamixer
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument
It's agreed that the control interface has been abused since 2014, but
forcing a check should not prevent existing solutions from working.
This patch skips the checks conditionally if CONFIG_SND_CTL_VALIDATION
is set and the byte array provided by topology is > 512. This
preserves the checks for all other cases.

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.
