3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3bec60d511179853138836ae6e1b61fe34d9235f upstream.
fw_device_init() didn't check whether the allocated minor number isn't
too large. Fail if it goes overflows MINORBITS.
