[PATCH] mfd: tps6507x - fix off-by-one value range checking

From: Axel Lin
Date: Tue Oct 12 2010 - 22:43:37 EST


We use msg[0] for device register.
If bytes == (TPS6507X_MAX_REGISTER + 1),
we got a buffer overflow when doing memcpy(&msg[1], src, bytes);
Thus we must ensure bytes not greater than TPS6507X_MAX_REGISTER.
