4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>
commit 8835ba4a39cf53f705417b3b3a94eb067673f2c9 upstream.
An attack has become available which pretends to be a quirky
device circumventing normal sanity checks and crashes the kernel
by an insufficient number of interfaces. This patch adds a check
to the code path for quirky devices.
