4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 098a0a62c1554f5a3813ef1b8539563214ada8f6 upstream. The loop in snd_hdac_bus_parse_capabilities() may go to nirvana when it hits an invalid register value read: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffad5dc41f3fff IP: pci_azx_readl+0x5/0x10 [snd_hda_intel] Call Trace: snd_hdac_bus_parse_capabilities+0x3c/0x1f0 [snd_hda_core] azx_probe_continue+0x7d5/0x940 [snd_hda_intel] ..... This happened on a new Intel machine, and we need to check the value and abort the loop accordingly.
