The Coverity checker noted the following in sound/pci/ac97/ac97_patch.c:

        if ((val & 0xff40) != 0x5340)

                if (patch_ad1881_chained1(ac97, cidx1, 0x0006))         // SDIE | ID1C
                        patch_ad1881_chained1(ac97, cidx2, 0);

        } else if (cidx2 >= 0) {
                patch_ad1881_chained1(ac97, cidx2, 0);
        }
}
...

<--  snip  -->

If there are in patch_ad1881_chained() (cidx2 == -1) and (cidx1 >= 0), 
-1 will be used as array index in patch_ad1881_chained1().
