[PATCH] ARM: at91: validate memory node device_type strings
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 01:35:01 EST
at91_pm_backup_scan_memcs() fetches the raw device_type property and
immediately compares it with strcmp(). Flat DT properties are external
boot input, and this path does not prove that the property is
NUL-terminated within its declared bounds.
Use fdt_stringlist_get() so malformed unterminated device_type
properties are rejected before they are used as C strings.
