Christophe JAILLET dff2200371 dmaengine: mcf-edma: Fix a potential un-allocated memory access
commit 0a46781c89dece85386885a407244ca26e5c1c44 upstream.

When 'mcf_edma' is allocated, some space is allocated for a
flexible array at the end of the struct. 'chans' item are allocated, that is
to say 'pdata->dma_channels'.

Then, this number of item is stored in 'mcf_edma->n_chans'.

A few lines later, if 'mcf_edma->n_chans' is 0, then a default value of 64
is set.

This ends to no space allocated by devm_kzalloc() because chans was 0, but
64 items are read and/or written in some not allocated memory.

Change the logic to define a default value before allocating the memory.

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.
