#1388315 — [PATCH 3.2 032/115] Input: powermate - fix oops with malicious USB descriptors

3.2.80-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org>

commit 9c6ba456711687b794dcf285856fc14e2c76074f upstream.

The powermate driver expects at least one valid USB endpoint in its
probe function.  If given malicious descriptors that specify 0 for
the number of endpoints, it will crash.  Validate the number of
endpoints on the interface before using them.
