Subject: [PATCH 07/11] rcar_drif: fix potential Spectre variant 1

f->index can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Smatch warning:
drivers/media/platform/rcar_drif.c:909 rcar_drif_enum_fmt_sdr_cap() warn: potential spectre issue 'formats'

Fix this by sanitizing f->index before using it to index
formats.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
