If the length paramter in len2dlc() exceeds the size of the len2dlc array, we
return 0xF. This is equal to the last 16 members of the array.

This patch removes these members from the array, uses ARRAY_SIZE() for the
length check, and returns CANFD_MAX_DLC (which is 0xf).

Sorry but I missed an of-by-one issue when I did my first
review. Don't know why but it popped to my eyes this morning when
casually reading the emails.

Oh, yes.

The fist line is 0 .. 8 which has 9 bytes.

I also looked on it (from the back), and wondered if it was correct. But
didn't see it either at first sight.


ARRAY_SIZE(len2dlc) is 49. If len is between 0 and 48, use the
array, if len is greater *or equal* return CANFD_MAX_DLC.

All these changes and discussions make it very obviously more tricky to
understand that code.

I don't really like this kind of improvement ...

Before that it was pretty clear that we only catch an out of bounds
value and usually grab the value from the table.

I understand your point: all three of us initially missed that
bug. But now that it is fixed, I would still prefer to keep
Marc's patch.

No, I'm still against it as it is now.

Even

	if (len >= ARRAY_SIZE(len2dlc))

would need some comment that values > 48 lead to a DLC = 15.

This is not intuitively understandable from that value "ARRAY_SIZE(len2dlc)" !

Using ARRAY_SIZE() is a bad choice IMO.

If it's really worth to save 16 bytes I would suggest this:
