Subject: [PATCH 3.2 089/149] hwmon: (applesmc) Check key count before
 proceeding

3.2.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@...omail.se>

commit 5f4513864304672e6ea9eac60583eeac32e679f2 upstream.

After reports from Chris and Josh Boyer of a rare crash in applesmc,
Guenter pointed at the initialization problem fixed below. The patch
has not been verified to fix the crash, but should be applied
regardless.
