[PATCH 6.6 & 5.10] usb: typec: ucsi: validate connector number in ucsi_connector_change

From: Hongbo Li

Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 05:24:31 EST


Commit d2d8c17ac01a ("usb: typec: ucsi: validate connector
number in ucsi_notify_common()") and commit 5a1140404cbf ("usb:
typec: ucsi: skip connector validation before init") add the bounds
check when do the connector change both in pre-init notification and
the forward notifications. But they are difficult to backport to
early stable branch such as LTS 6.6, LTS 5.10 due to many dependencies.
Instead, we choose to validate connector number in ucsi_connector_change
directly to avoid out-of-range issue.

Fixes: bdc62f2bae8f ("usb: typec: ucsi: Simplified registration and I/O API")
