The length of hw->settings->odr_table is 2 and ref_sensor->id is an enum
variable whose value is between 0 and 5.
However, the value ST_LSM6DSX_ID_MAX (i.e. 5) is not catched properly in
switch (sensor->id) {
If ref_sensor->id is ST_LSM6DSX_ID_MAX, an array overflow will ocurrs in
function st_lsm6dsx_check_odr():
odr_table = &sensor->hw->settings->odr_table[sensor->id];
and in function st_lsm6dsx_set_odr():
reg = &hw->settings->odr_table[ref_sensor->id].reg;
To fix this possible array overflow, ref_sensor->id should be checked
first. If it is greater than or equal to 2, the function
st_lsm6dsx_set_odr() returns -EINVAL.

Hi,
Thanks for the patch, good catch. But there are a few things to improve
here, the goal should not be to silence the output of your checker, but
to write good code.
Let's start with ST_LSM6DSX_ID_MAX. As the name suggests this is an
entry at the end of the enum that is used to get the size of the enum.
But its value itself is never assigned to any variable of that type.
This is a very common pattern. So strictly speaking there is no bug,
since the out-of-range value of ST_LSM6DSX_ID_MAX is never used.
The other thing is that we usually don't want to hardcode range checks
for array sizes with integer literals, but rather use ARRAY_SIZE()
instead. This makes sure that the code stays correct when the array size
changes.
If you really wanted to modify the code sot that your code checker does
not detect a false positive I'd modify the switch statement to
explicitly handle ST_LSM6DSX_ID_GYRO and ST_LSM6DSX_ID_ACCEL and the
return an error for the default case with a comment that default case
should never occur.
