Subject: [media] cx24117: fix a buffer overflow when checking userspace params

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>

commit 82e3b88b679049f043fe9b03991d6d66fc0a43c8 upstream.

The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the userspace API. However, the code allows to write up much more values:

	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c:983 cx24116_send_diseqc_msg() error: buffer overflow 'd->msg' 6 <= 23
