Subject: [PATCH 3.12 053/123] cx24116: fix a buffer overflow when checking userspace params

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@....samsung.com>

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

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

commit 1fa2337a315a2448c5434f41e00d56b01a22283c upstream.

The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the
userspace API. However, the code allows to write up much more values:
	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c:983 cx24116_send_diseqc_msg() error: buffer overflow 'd->msg' 6 <= 23
