patch "counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling write max value" added to staging-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling write max value

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: counter: stm32-timer-cnt: fix ceiling write max value

The ceiling value isn't checked before writing it into registers. The user could write a value higher than the counter resolution (e.g. 16 or 32 bits indicated by max_arr). This makes most significant bits to be truncated. Fix it by checking the max_arr to report a range error [1] to the user.
