Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: wavefront: Fix integer overflow in sample size
validation

The wavefront_send_sample() function has an integer overflow issue when validating sample size. The header->size field is u32 but gets cast to int for comparison with dev->freemem

Fix by using unsigned comparison to avoid integer overflow.
