Fix an error detected by the Smatch tool: drivers/video/fbdev/metronomefb.c:220 load_waveform() error: buffer overflow 'wfm_hdr->stuff2a' 2 <= 4 drivers/video/fbdev/metronomefb.c:220 load_waveform() error: buffer overflow 'wfm_hdr->stuff2a' 2 <= 4 The access to wfm_hdr->stuff2a in the loop can lead to a buffer overflow if stuff2a is not large enough. To fix this, a check was added to ensure that stuff2a has sufficient space before accessing it. This prevents the overflow and improves the safety of the code.
