[PATCH 1/3] Bluetooth: btmtk: Fix short read errors in btmtk_usb_uhw_reg_read()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 12:01:16 EST


If btmtk_usb_uhw_reg_read() gets a "short" read from a device, it will
accidentally treat that as a "real" read and populate the returned value
with some unknown and probably totally invalid data.

Fix this logic error up by calling usb_control_msg_recv() which
guarantees a "full" read happens, and then simplify the error checking
for when btmtk_usb_uhw_reg_read() is called.

Note, one caller of btmtk_usb_uhw_reg_read() does not check the return
value, but as we pre-initialize the return value as 0, an incorrect read
will not do anything wrong.
