Subject: ALSA: control: Add sanity checks for user ctl id name string
From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>
commit be3bb8236db2d0fcd705062ae2e2a9d75131222f upstream.
There was no check about the id string of user control elements, so we
accepted even a control element with an empty string, which is
obviously bogus. This patch adds more sanity checks of id strings.
