PATCH 1/1 media: si470x: fix potential Spectre variant 1
band->index can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:drivers/media/radio/si470x/radio-si470x-common.c:758 si470x_vidioc_enum_freq_bands() warn: potential spectre issue 'bands'
Fix this by sanitizing band->index before using it to index `bands'
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].
