From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit be3bb8236db2d0fcd705062ae2e2a9d75131222f upstream. 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.
