I think "if (type_ptr + 1 >= page1_end)" would be more consistent.

This message is not helpful for someone with a device reporting
invalid enclosure data.  It should be more generic, like
"Enclosure data too short" or "invalid" or something.  And, the
actual pointer values are irrelevant, it all depends upon the
contents of the buffer.

See above, the message is unhelpful.  The actual problem is that
the Enclosure data is too short or invalid.

This will still potentially leave type_ptr past the end of the
buffer in the subsequent code, though, right?

This might fix the problem for your malfunctioning device, but
does not look like it would handle the general case.
