[PATCH v2 12/19] accel: ethosu: Validate convolution parameter
From: Rob Herring (Arm)
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 20:49:07 EST
The U65 NPU_OP_CONV command has no parameter fields, but the
validator interpreted bit zero as the U85 weights_ifm2 field. A crafted
U65 stream could consequently make validation skip the weight buffer
that hardware accesses.
Require a zero parameter on U65 and reject the reserved U85 parameter
bits.
