The firmware exposes the global group count and per-group stream count in the shared control interface. These values are validated before being used as loop bounds. Read each count once with READ_ONCE() and store it in a local variable. This avoids reading the same control section field twice and makes it explicit that the loop uses the same value that passed validation to protect against self-modifying control sections.
