Subject: patch "ihex: Check if zero-length record is at the end of the blob" added to driver-core-testing


This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    ihex: Check if zero-length record is at the end of the blob

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the driver-core-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: ihex: Check if zero-length record is at the end of the blob

When verifying the validity of IHEX file we need to make sure that
zero-length record we found is located at the end of the file. Not
doing that could result in an invalid file with a bogus zero-length in
the middle short-circuiting the check and being reported as valid.
