[PATCH 0/2] can: esd_usb: validate data received from the device

From: Joas Antonio dos Santos via B4 Relay

Two fixes for values that esd_usb takes from the USB device without
checking them.

Patch 1 limits the number of nets reported in the version reply to
ESD_USB_MAX_NETS. Marc Kleine-Budde asked for this clamp during the
review of the esd_usb cleanup series in August 2025; as far as I can
tell it never landed.

Patch 2 validates the message length in the rx path, so that a zero
length cannot stall the URB completion handler and a message is not
handled before checking that it fits in the received data.

These issues were found with the help of an LLM-based code review tool
(Claude). I checked the code paths by hand against v7.4-rc3 and
reviewed the fixes myself. They are build-tested only (W=1, arm64); I
do not have the hardware to test them at runtime.
