[PATCH] mailbox: Prevent out-of-bounds access in of_mbox_index_xlate()
From: Joonwon Kang
Date: Wed Mar 04 2026 - 02:31:07 EST
[ Upstream commit fcd7f96c783626c07ee3ed75fa3739a8a2052310 ]
Although it is guided that `#mbox-cells` must be at least 1, there are
many instances of `#mbox-cells = <0>;` in the device tree. If that is
the case and the corresponding mailbox controller does not provide
`fw_xlate` and of_xlate` function pointers, `of_mbox_index_xlate()` will
be used by default and out-of-bounds accesses could occur due to lack of
bounds check in that function.
