usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: validate bRequest index in generic_{set,get}_cmdgrafted
generic_set_cmd() and generic_get_cmd() use the low nibble of ctrl->bRequest as an index into con->data[]: u8 cmd = (ctrl->bRequest & 0x0F); /* 0 .. 15 */ ... con->data[cmd] = value; /* OOB when cmd >= 5 */ struct usb_audio_control (include/linux/usb/audio.h) declares data as a 5-element array, so indices 5 through 15 write (or read) up to 44 bytes past the end of the array on the heap. A malicious USB host can craft a class-specific SET_CUR / GET_CUR request with an arbitrary bRequest value, triggering the out-of-bounds access from an IRQ completion handler with no further preconditions. Add an ARRAY_SIZE() guard to both functions.

+Note on Compatibility
+=====================
+
+Note that the Live Update feature is still under development and subject to
+change, so compatibility is not guaranteed when kexec rebooting between
+different kernel versions. This is expected to change and stabilize in a future
+version.
+
+Userspace Integration
+=====================
+
+systemd (since version v261) uses LUO to preserve its per-service file
+descriptor store across a kexec-based live update. Services opt in by setting
+``FileDescriptorStoreMax=`` and ``FileDescriptorStorePreserve=`` in their unit,
+and push file descriptors with a name into the store via
+``sd_pid_notify_with_fds(... "FDSTORE=1\nFDNAME=foo")``.
+
+Services may also create their own LUO sessions (via ``/dev/liveupdate``) and
+push the resulting session fds into their file descriptor store like any other
+fd. systemd detects such session fds and handles them accordingly, and
+hands the re-retrieved session fd back to the service after kexec, using the
+existing file descriptor store service interface.
