Subject: panasonic-laptop: avoid overflow in acpi_pcc_hotkey_add()
X-Git-Tag: v3.3~24^2

panasonic-laptop: avoid overflow in acpi_pcc_hotkey_add()

num_sifr could go negative since acpi_pcc_get_sqty() returns -EINVAL
on error.  Then it could bypass the sanity check (num_sifr > 255).
The subsequent call to kzalloc() would allocate a small buffer, leading
to a memory corruption.
