Subject: [PATCH 04/11] marvell-ccic: mcam-core: fix potential Spectre variant
 1

fmt->index can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to a
potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Smatch warning:
drivers/media/platform/marvell-ccic/mcam-core.c:1323 mcam_vidioc_enum_fmt_vid_cap() warn: potential spectre issue 'mcam_formats'

Fix this by sanitizing fmt->index before using it to index
mcam_formats.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
