Subject: [patch 1/2 -next] mfd: dln2: add a limit check for invalid "echo"

We check the other variables and traditionally we don't trust data from
USB devices so adding a check here is normal.  This silences a static
checker warning.

I am unsure if this fix is correct and I don't have the hardware.
Please review this one carefully.  The "goto out;" seems to use the
invalid data and I don't understand why.
