BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in tb_retimer_scan+0xffe/0x1550 [thunderbolt]<br />
Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810111fc1c by task kworker/u56:0/11<br />

<br />
This happens because the loop variable still gets incremented by one so<br />
max becomes 3 instead of 2, and this makes the second loop read past the<br />
the array declared on the stack.<br />
<br />
Fix this by assigning to max directly in the loop body.
