In stop(), an (unlikely) out-of-bounds write error can occur when setting
the demod_in_use element indexed by state->demod to zero, as state->demod
isn't checked for being in the range of the array size of demod_in_use, and
state->demod maybe carrying the magic 0xff (demod unused) value. Prevent
this by checking state->demod not exceeding the array size before setting
the element value. To make the code a bit easier to read, replace the magic
value and the number of array elements with defines, and use them at a few
more places.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
