The panasonic laptop code in various places uses the sinf array with index values of 0 - SINF_CUR_BRIGHT(0x0d) without checking that the sinf array is big enough.
Check for a minimum SQTY value of SINF_CUR_BRIGHT to avoid out of bounds accesses of the sinf array.
This description is a bit misleading. The patch is _not_ adding a bounds check to sinf array access paths but ensuring the allocation is big enough for those accesses. It took me a while to figure out so I suggest the wording is improved to clearly explain how the problem has been addressed.
