Dan reported that smatch reports wrong size check and after analysis it is confirmed that we are comparing wrong value: pointer size instead of array size. However the check itself is problematic as in UAPI header there are two fields: struct snd_soc_tplg_enum_control { (...) char texts[SND_SOC_TPLG_NUM_TEXTS][SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ID_NAME_MAXLEN]; __le32 values[SND_SOC_TPLG_NUM_TEXTS * SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ID_NAME_MAXLEN / 4]; the texts field is for names and the values one for values assigned to those named fields, after analysis it becomes clear that there is quite a lot overhead values than we may possibly name. So instead of changing check to ARRAY_SIZE(ec->values), as it was first suggested, use hardcoded value of SND_SOC_TPLG_NUM_TEXTS.
