[PATCH v5 1/2] gpiolib: acpi: Add robust bounds-checking for GPIO pin resources

From: Marco Scardovi

Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 07:46:09 EST


Ensure that the GPIO pin resource arrays are safely bounded before
accessing indices. Add bounds checking in acpi_request_own_gpiod(),
acpi_gpio_irq_is_wake(), and acpi_gpiochip_alloc_event() to prevent
out-of-bounds array reads if the ACPI namespace provides malformed or
empty pin tables.
