Summary
fbdev: omapfb: Add 'plane' value check
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbdev: omapfb: Add 'plane' value check

Function dispcovlsetup is not intended to work with the value OMAPDSSWB of the enum parameter plane.

The value of this parameter is initialized in dssinitoverlays and in the current state of the code it cannot take this value so it's not a real problem.

For the purposes of defensive coding it wouldn't be superfluous to check the parameter value, because some functions down the call stack process this value correctly and some not.

For example, in dispcovlsetupglobalalpha it may lead to buffer overflow.

Add check for this value.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE static analysis tool.
