[PATCH net] net: phy: air_en8811h: refuse a firmware blob that is not a multiple of 4
From: Aleksei Sviridkin
Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 04:11:00 EST
The download loop streams the blob into the MCU as 32-bit words and
reads the last word past the end of a blob whose size is not a multiple
of four. The shipped blobs happen to be aligned, so the overread never
showed; a truncated or foreign file would carry up to three bytes of
whatever follows it into the MCU. Reject it before the first write
instead.
Fixes: 71e79430117d ("net: phy: air_en8811h: Add the Airoha EN8811H PHY driver")
