[RESEND PATCH v1 0/4] Fixes for the mcp2221 HID-to-I2C-bridge driver
From: Enrik Berkhan
Date: Mon Sep 26 2022 - 17:20:52 EST
In this patch series are fixes for issues I found during recent tests of
an MCP2221 board.
- you can confuse the kernel driver when using the chip from user mode
via /dev/hidrawX, typically leading to a NULL pointer dereference in
the driver's HID raw event handler
- the driver needs > 15s to initialize because the HID raw handling is
not enabled during initialization of the GPIO part
- data shared with the bottom half code is not protected from concurrent
access
- the rxbuf pointer can become invalid or even stale if the device would
send unsolicited reports
Enrik Berkhan (4):
HID: mcp2221: don't connect hidraw
HID: mcp2221: enable HID I/O during GPIO probe
HID: mcp2221: protect shared data with spin lock
HID: mcp2221: avoid stale rxbuf pointer

Resend because I had a typo in the linux-input mailing list address.
Also adding linux-kernel to increase visibility.
