Subject: [PATCH 3.12 047/155] ALSA: control: Add sanity checks for user ctl id name string

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

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

===============

commit be3bb8236db2d0fcd705062ae2e2a9d75131222f upstream.

There was no check about the id string of user control elements, so we
accepted even a control element with an empty string, which is
obviously bogus.  This patch adds more sanity checks of id strings.
