Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: codecs: tx-macro: Fix for KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds

When we run syzkaller we get below Out of Bound.
"KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in regcache_flat_read"

Below is the backtrace of the issue:

dump_backtrace+0x0/0x4c8
show_stack+0x34/0x44
dump_stack_lvl+0xd8/0x118
print_address_description+0x30/0x2d8

snd_soc_component_update_bits+0xa8/0x22c
snd_soc_component_write_field+0x68/0xd4
tx_macro_digital_mute+0xec/0x140

Actually There is no need to have decimator with 32 bits.
By limiting the variable with short type u8 issue is resolved.
