Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: usb: lan78xx: reject invalid EEPROM write requests
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 23:32:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010213248.15938-1-stefanomunari.sm@gmail.com> (raw)
The runtime PM handling removed the -EINVAL return for invalid
EEPROM/OTP write requests. These requests now return zero from a
successful usb_autopm_get_interface() call, even though no data is
written.
Set ret to -EINVAL for invalid requests while preserving the runtime
PM reference release.
Fixes: 8a7ffeb795f8 ("lan78xx: Fix for eeprom read/write when device auto suspend")
Signed-off-by: Stefano Munari <stefanomunari.sm@gmail.com>

Tested-by: Nicolai Buchwitz <nb@tipi-net.de> # Raspberry Pi 3B+ (LAN7515)

Changes in v2:
- Add braces to all branches of the if/else chain as suggested by Andrew.
- Add Nicolai's Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261009005702.164936-1-stefanomunari.sm@gmail.com
Tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with the onboard Ethernet
controller, using raspberrypi/linux commit bba53a117a4a on the
rpi-6.6.y branch as the baseline.
ethtool -E eth0 magic 0 offset 0 length 1 value 0
The command succeeds without the patch and reports "Invalid argument"
with the patch applied.
