Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: sparx5: check DT port reg against array size

mchp_sparx5_probe() reads the 'reg' property of each ethernet-port DT
node into portno and passes it to sparx5_create_port(), which uses it
to index the fixed-size sparx5->ports[SPX5_PORTS] array:

    sparx5->ports[config->portno] = spx5_port;

The value is never validated, so a device tree with an out-of-range
'reg' value (runtime overlay, corrupted or attacker-controlled DTB,
kexec-supplied or bootloader-fixed-up DT) turns probe into an
out-of-bounds write, potentially far outside the allocation.

Add a range check while parsing and skip nodes with an invalid port
number.

Fixes: f3cad2611a77 ("net: sparx5: add hostmode with phylink support")
