media: cec-pin-error-inj: avoid a false-positive Spectre detection
The current logic makes Smatch to false-detect a Spectre variant 1
vulnerability. The problem is that it initializes an u32 indirectly
from user space input.
After trying to write a fixup, after a while I realized that, in
practice, this shouldn't be a problem, as an u32 is initialized
from u8, but it took some time to discover it.
So, do some code cleanup to make it clearer for both humans
and machines about the valid range for "op".
Fix this warning:
drivers/media/cec/cec-pin-error-inj.c:170 cec_pin_error_inj_parse_line() warn: potential spectre issue 'pin->error_inj_args'
