[PATCH 5.10] Revert "USB: serial: keyspan_pda: fix information leak"

From: Fedor Pchelkin

Date: Sun Aug 30 2026 - 10:59:41 EST


This reverts commit cccef1711efbcdbe999738ac27d37b9ef6271abd which is
commit 6bfc8d01ac4068eced509f8fc74d0cd205e4dcec upstream.

The 5.10 backport is incorrect - instead of keyspan_pda_write_start() it
touches the wrong function keyspan_pda_write() which now returns an
incorrect number of buffered bytes.

It turns out that the proper fix for keyspan_pda_write_start() has been
already incorporated into the ported version of upstream commit
034e38e8f687 ("USB: serial: keyspan_pda: add write-fifo support"), for
unknown reason.

Other stable kernels, starting with 5.15, got proper backports.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static
analysis tool.
