Subject: [PATCH net v3 4/4] net: phy: as21xxx: handle odd firmware on loading
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 08:30:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028073024.25175-5-ansuelsmth@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028073024.25175-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
Even if firmware for AS21xxx should be always u16 aligned, we can't assume
this will be the same forever. Better address this by simply validate the
index before reading out of bound from the data buffer.
A zero padded buffer will be passed to the AS21xxx mailbox in such case.
Fixes: 830877d89edc ("net: phy: Add support for Aeonsemi AS21xxx PHYs")
