Add a sanity check on the device id-table driver_info field to make sure
we never access a type structure (and function pointers) outside of the
device info array (e.g. if someone fails to ifdef a device-id entry).
Note that this also suppresses a compiler warning with -Warray-bounds
(gcc-11.3.0) when compile-testing the driver without enabling any of
the device type Kconfig options:
drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c: In function 'usbtouch_probe':
drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c:1668:16⚠️ array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of 'struct usbtouch_device_info[0]' [-Warray-bounds]
1668 | type = &usbtouch_dev_info[id->driver_info];

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
