Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] hwmon: (lenovo-ec-sensors): Fix EC "MCHP" signature validation logic
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 11:52:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521035228.533317-3-rh_king@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521035228.533317-1-rh_king@163.com>
The EC signature check uses && instead of || between the four
byte comparisons. With &&, the condition is true only when ALL
four bytes fail to match simultaneously, meaning the driver
accepts a device as a valid Microchip EC if ANY single byte of
the 4-byte "MCHP" signature happens to match.
Due to short-circuit evaluation, if the first byte reads back as
'M' (0x4D, a very common register value), the remaining three
comparisons are skipped entirely and the device is accepted.
Change && to || so the check rejects devices that do not fully
match the expected EC signature, as originally intended.
