Why not write just:

dev_info(&intf->dev,
"vendor descriptor length: %d data: %*ph\n",
total_len, min(total_len, 11), desc);

Also, aren't there more out-of-bounds reads in the code just after? It only
checks for at least 1 byte available, but then it reads up to 7 bytes:

while (desc < desc_end) {
u8 length;
u16 key;

key = *desc++;
key |= (u16)*desc++ << 8;
length = *desc++;

switch (key) {
case 0x0200: { /* max_area */
u32 max_area = *desc++;
max_area |= (u32)*desc++ << 8;
max_area |= (u32)*desc++ << 16;
max_area |= (u32)*desc++ << 24;
dev_warn(&intf->dev,
"DL chip limited to %d pixel modes\n",
max_area);
dlfb->sku_pixel_limit = max_area;
break;
}
default:
break;
}
desc += length;
}


Also I couldn't help but notice it's also using 'char' rather than 'u8',
so bytes >= 0x80 are read incorrectly as they're sign extended...
