[patch] edac: sb_edac: add sanity check to silence static checker

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Tue Nov 01 2011 - 02:29:16 EST


I assume the the check on if (limit <= prv) prevents n_tads from
actually reaching MAX_TAD. The problem with that is that it relies
on the hardware returning the right value and Smatch complains that
if it doesn't we could have a buffer overflow.

Feel free to ignore this patch if you want. I don't have very stong
feelings about this either way.
