In the while loop of technisat_usb2_get_ir, it scans through
a fix-sized buffer read from the device side, the termination
condition of the loop is `*b == 0xff`. If no `0xff` byte is read
from the device side, OOB access happens.

This patch fixes the bug by adding an upper bound in the while loop.
