From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit be3bb8236db2d0fcd705062ae2e2a9d75131222f ] There was no check about the id string of user control elements, so we accepted even a control element with an empty string, which is obviously bogus. This patch adds more sanity checks of id strings.
