[PATCH 2/2] nfc: pn533: add KUnit tests for receive-path bounds
From: Michael Bommarito
Date: Wed Jun 17 2026 - 23:00:48 EST
Two regression tests: a header-only standard frame declaring datalen = 8
(KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in pn533_std_rx_frame_is_valid on an unpatched
tree), and a header-only Type A target with nfcid_len = 10
(pn533_target_found_type_a returns -EPROTO once bounded). Benign controls
exercise the valid path.
