Subject: [media] si2157: Bounds check firmware

From: Laura Abbott <[email protected]>

commit a828d72df216c36e9c40b6c24dc4b17b6f7b5a76 upstream.

When reading the firmware and sending commands, the length must be bounds checked to avoid overrunning the size of the command buffer and smashing the stack if the firmware is not in the expected format. Add the proper check.
