[PATCH] i2c: mt7621: fix copying uninitialized kernel stack with reduced page_len

From: Christian Marangi

Date: Wed Oct 21 2026 - 12:16:49 EST


When a page_len is less than 5 bytes in mtk_i2c_xfer, uninitialized kernel
stack data is copied and written to REG_SM0D1_REG. Equally on the read
part, an unnecessary read is done.

Guard these extra copy/write and read for the page_len to fix leaking
uninitialized stack memory.
