Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As pointed by smatch:

The situation of a buffer overflow won't happen, in practice,
with the current values of car_loop table. Yet, the entire logic
that checks for those registration values is too complex. So,
better to add an explicit check, just in case someone changes
the car_loop tables causing a buffer overflow by mistake.

This also helps to remove several smatch warnings, with is good.
