The fix for a long-standing USB-audio bug required one more dependency
variable to be added to the hw constraints. Unfortunately I didn't
realize at debugging that the new addition may result in the overflow
of the dependency array of each snd_pcm_hw_rule (up to three plus a
sentinel), because USB-audio driver adds one more dependency only for
a certain device and bus, hence it works as is for many devices. But
in a bad case, a simple open always results in -EINVAL (with kernel
WARNING if CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is set) no matter what is passed.
Since the dependencies are real and unavoidable (USB-audio restricts
the hw_params per looping over the format/rate/channels combos), the
only good solution seems to raise the bar for one more dependency for
snd_pcm_hw_rule -- so does this patch: now the hw constraint
dependencies can be up to four.

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.
