Now that Kees Cook has added a definition for HCS_N_PORTS_MAX in
commit 72dd184323 ("USB: EHCI: Add register array bounds to HCS
ports"), the code in ehci_hub_control() which sanitizes port index
values can be improved a little.
The idea behind this change is that it prevents a possible
out-of-bounds pointer computation, which the compiler might be able to
detect since the port_status[] array now has a fixed length rather
than a variable length.

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.
