Pull request overview
This PR addresses two issues detected by ASAN/UBSAN sanitizers: a potential integer overflow in a bit shift operation and a memory leak from an unreferenced libusb device.
Changes:
- Fixed integer overflow by casting
linkidtouint32_tbefore bit shifting in theCOMBINE_IDSmacro - Added
libusb_unref_device()call to prevent memory leak after opening USB device

Purpose
Added minor fixes to solve issues detected by ASAN/UBSAN.
Specification
This solves 2 issues, firstly:
result of byte shift cannot be represented with type intand also a memory leak originating from missing unreferencing of a libusb device.Dependencies & Potential Impact
None / not applicable
Deployment Plan
None / not applicable
Testing & Validation
This was tested with the sanitizers, and later using the HIL tests.
