Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: isp1760: Fix out-of-bounds array access

Running the driver through kasan gives an interesting splat:

BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in isp1760_register+0x180/0x70c
Read of size 20 at addr f1db2e64 by task swapper/0/1
(...)
isp1760_register from isp1760_plat_probe+0x1d8/0x220
(...)

This happens because the loop reading the regmap fields for the
different ISP1760 variants look like this:

for (i = 0; i < HC_FIELD_MAX; i++) { ... }

Meaning it expects the arrays to be at least HC_FIELD_MAX - 1 long.

However the arrays isp1760_hc_reg_fields[], isp1763_hc_reg_fields[],
isp1763_hc_volatile_ranges[] and isp1763_dc_volatile_ranges[] are
dynamically sized during compilation.

Fix this by putting an empty assignment to the [HC_FIELD_MAX]
and [DC_FIELD_MAX] array member at the end of each array.
This will make the array one member longer than it needs to be,
but avoids the risk of overwriting whatever is inside
[HC_FIELD_MAX - 1] and is simple and intuitive to read. Also
add comments explaining what is going on.
