I added the >0 checks because I encountered a NULL pointer dereference.

Because
tasdevice_init sets
tas_priv->cur_prog = -1
tas_priv->cur_conf = -1

tasdev_fw_ready calls tasdevice_prmg_load(tas_priv, 0) which sets
tasdevice[i]->prg_no = 0

Then the playback hook calls
tasdevice_tuning_switch(tas_hda->priv, 0)
tasdevice_select_tuningprm_cfg(tas_priv, cur_prog (-1), cur_conf (-1),
profile_cfg_id (0));

tasdevice_select_tuningprm_cfg checks
if (tas_priv->tasdevice[i].cur_prog (0) != prm_no (-1)
and tries to load the program from
program = &(tas_fmw->programs[prm_no (-1)]);
tasdevice_load_data(tas_priv, &(program->dev_data));

I think the intention was to load the first program, first
configuration, first profile. And that's the safe thing to do.
So I expressed that with this commit.

Yes, I need to write much better commit messages.
