USB: EHCI: avoid undefined pointer arithmetic and placate UBSAN
Several people have reported that UBSAN doesn't like the pointer arithmetic in ehci_hub_control(): u32 __iomem *status_reg = &ehci->regs->port_status[ (wIndex & 0xff) - 1]; u32 __iomem *hostpc_reg = &ehci->regs->hostpc[(wIndex & 0xff) - 1]; If wIndex is 0 (and it often is), these calculations underflow and UBSAN complains. According to the C standard, pointer computations leading to locations outside the bounds of an array object (other than 1 position past the end) are undefined. In this case, the compiler would be justified in concluding the wIndex can never be 0 and then optimizing away the tests for !wIndex that occur later in the subroutine. (Although, since ehci->regs->port_status and ehci->regs->hostpc are both 0-length arrays and are thus GCC extensions to the C standard, it's not clear what the compiler is really allowed to do.) At any rate, we can avoid all these difficulties, at the cost of making the code slightly longer, by not decrementing the index when it is equal to 0. The runtime effect is minimal, and anyway ehci_hub_control() is not on a hot path.
