mm81x_yaps_hw_read_pkts() reads a full 4-byte delimiter and then
subtracts sizeof(delim) from bytes_remaining on every loop iteration,
guarded only by "bytes_remaining > 0". If 1-3 bytes are left in the
window, this reads past the end of the valid data and then subtracts
4 from a value smaller than 4, driving bytes_remaining negative.
A negative bytes_remaining then reaches the total_len > bytes_remaining
branch, where "bytes_remaining" is passed to memcpy() as the copy
length. Implicitly converted to size_t, a negative int becomes a
huge value, turning that memcpy() into a massive out-of-bounds copy.
Bail out of the split loop once fewer than sizeof(delim) bytes remain,
the same way the existing "end of stream" check bails on a zero
delimiter.
