I realise this was forwarded somewhere by an automation, but it seems not
to the full CC list, so I'm reproducing it here:
commit 6de2e15f2fb313f3ab9a84d0bfd5a867de11c72c

net: enetc: Enable probing of version 4.4 devices
This commit adds driver data and platform info entries for ENETC v4.4 PF and
VF devices on S32N79 SoCs with a 500 MHz system clock frequency.

Can probing ENETC v4.4 on an 8-core S32N79 SoC overflow priv->int_vector[] in
enetc_int_vector_init()?
In drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc.h, ENETC_MAX_BDR_INT is still
defined as 6:
#define ENETC_MAX_BDR_INT 6 /* fixed to max # of available cpus */
...
struct enetc_ndev_priv {
...
int bdr_int_num; /* number of Rx/Tx ring interrupts */
struct enetc_int_vector *int_vector[ENETC_MAX_BDR_INT];
u16 num_rx_rings, num_tx_rings;
u16 rx_bd_count, tx_bd_count;
Previously supported SoCs had at most 6 CPUs, whereas S32N79 has 8 CPUs and
enetc4_default_rings_allocation() allocates up to ENETC_SI_MAX_RING_NUM (8)
RX rings to the PF.
When enetc_init_si_rings_params() runs on an 8-CPU system with 7 or 8 RX
rings:
int cpus = num_online_cpus();
...
priv->num_rx_rings = min_t(int, cpus, si->num_rx_rings);
priv->num_tx_rings = si->num_tx_rings;
priv->bdr_int_num = priv->num_rx_rings;
priv->bdr_int_num becomes 7 or 8 without being clamped to ENETC_MAX_BDR_INT.
Then enetc_alloc_msix() -> enetc_int_vector_init() writes past the end of
priv->int_vector[]:
for (i = 0; i < priv->bdr_int_num; i++) {
...
err = enetc_int_vector_init(priv, i, num_tx_rings);
where enetc_int_vector_init() does:
priv->int_vector[i] = v;
overwriting num_rx_rings, num_tx_rings, rx_bd_count, tx_bd_count, and
subsequent fields in struct enetc_ndev_priv.
Should ENETC_MAX_BDR_INT be increased (and/or priv->bdr_int_num bounded by
ENETC_MAX_BDR_INT)?

This does seem to be a legitimate concern to me, and I think it warrants a v4.
There is also a review of patch 1/5, here, which I think warrants
investigation too.
