I think "if (len > TRX_BD_IDX_MASK)" you mentioned is

if (len > TRX_BD_IDX_MASK) {
rtw_err(rtwdev, "len %d exceeds maximum RX entries\n", len);
return -EINVAL;
}

This statement is used to ensure the length doesn't exceed hardware capability.

To prevent the 'len' argument from exceeding the array size of rx_ring->buff, I
suggest to add another checking statement, like

if (len > ARRAY_SIZE(rx_ring->buf)) {
rtw_err(rtwdev, "len %d exceeds maximum RX ring buffer\n", len);
return -EINVAL;
}

But, I wonder if this a false alarm because 'len' is equal to ARRAY_SIZE(rx_ring->buf)
for now.
