Subject: [PATCH] HID: mcp2221: prevent a buffer overflow in mcp_smbus_write()

Smatch Warning:
drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy()
'&mcp->txbuf[5]' too small (59 vs 255)
drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy() 'buf'
too small (34 vs 255)

The 'len' variable can take a value between 0-255 as it can come from
data->block[0] and it is user data. So add an bound check to prevent a
buffer overflow in memcpy().

I believe I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32) is the appropriate limit to use here
but the &mcp->txbuf[5] array could actually fit 59 bytes which is the
destination in this case. I don't know why the buffer is larger than
expected.
