Subject: [PATCH 2/2] iio: proximity: sx9360: reject unsupported hardware gain values
Date: Sat,  7 Nov 2026 16:47:04 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107111710.442318-3-kapoorarnav43@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107111710.442318-1-kapoorarnav43@gmail.com>

sx9360_write_gain() passes any value from userspace to ilog2() and then
FIELD_PREP() into the 3-bit PROX_CTRL0 gain field without checking it.
Only gains of 1, 2, 4 and 8 are supported (and listed in
hardwaregain_available), but other values are not rejected:

  - 3, 5, 6, 7 are rounded down to the next power of two;
  - 16 to 128 write gain codes 4 to 7, which the driver does not
    advertise, and the next read reports gains of 16 to 128;
  - 256 and larger wrap around in the field, e.g. 256 sets a gain of 1;
  - 0 and negative values write code 7 (read back as 128), because
    ilog2(0) is -1 and a negative int becomes a large unsigned value.

The write returns success in every case.

Return -EINVAL for anything other than 1, 2, 4 or 8.
