I found there is another place doing it wrongly (a few lines above
there), so fixed similarly in the same patch.
(And, yes, the code should be refactored; the patch will be sent soon

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: bits vs bytes bug in snd_card_create()
The test here is intended intended to prevent shift wrapping bugs when
we do "1U << idx2". We should consider the number of bits in a u32
instead of the number of bytes.
[fix another chunk similarly by tiwai]
