[PATCH RFC v2] of: property: Fix potential firmware node reference's argument count got out of range

From: Zijun Hu
Date: Tue Jan 14 2025 - 10:51:55 EST


From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, the following two macros have different values:

// The maximal argument count for firmware node reference
#define NR_FWNODE_REFERENCE_ARGS 8
// The maximal argument count for OF node reference
#define MAX_PHANDLE_ARGS 16

But of_fwnode_get_reference_args() directly assigns OF node
reference argument count @of_args.args_count to frimware
@args->nargs, and may cause firmware node reference argument
count @of_args.args_count got out of range, namely, in [9, 16].

Fix by increasing NR_FWNODE_REFERENCE_ARGS to 16 to meet OF requirement.

Fixes: 3e3119d3088f ("device property: Introduce fwnode_property_get_reference_args")

May remove MAX_PHANDLE_ARGS and use NR_FWNODE_REFERENCE_ARGS instead later.
---
Changes in v2:
- Increase macro @NR_FWNODE_REFERENCE_ARGS to align with @MAX_PHANDLE_ARGS.
- Correct fix tag and send as RFC patch.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250109-of_core_fix-v4-7-db8a72415b8c@xxxxxxxxxxx
