Subject: ALSA: bits vs bytes bug in snd_card_create()
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4c3773eda49c872a3034382f8ec3080002e715bf upstream.
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]
Fixes: 7bb2491b35a2 ('ALSA: Add kconfig to specify the max card numbers')
