Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] wifi: ath9k: name the register multi-read limit
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 21:52:50 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904185253.809209-3-nerijus.bendziunas@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904185253.809209-1-nerijus.bendziunas@gmail.com>

ath9k_multi_regread() converts the addresses and the results through
fixed 8-entry arrays and does not check the count it is given, so every
REG_READ_MULTI() caller has to stay at 8 or below, which nothing
states. Two callers ask for exactly 8: ar9271_hw_pa_cal() through
REG_READ_ARRAY() and ath9k_hw_usb_gen_fill_eeprom().

Define ATH9K_MULTI_READ_MAX next to REG_READ_MULTI() and size the
arrays with it. A larger count warns once and is reported as a failed
read, all ones, instead of writing past the arrays.
