Subject: [ 39/77] firewire: add minor number range check to fw_device_init()

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit 3bec60d511179853138836ae6e1b61fe34d9235f upstream.

fw_device_init() didn't check whether the allocated minor number isn't
too large.  Fail if it goes overflows MINORBITS.
