Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Never store more than
 msg->size bytes in AUX xfer

Quoting Douglas Anderson (2023-12-14 12:37:52)
> For aux reads, the value `msg->size` indicates the size of the buffer
> provided by `msg->buffer`. We should never in any circumstances write
> more bytes to the buffer since it may overflow the buffer.
>
> In the ti-sn65dsi86 driver there is one code path that reads the
> transfer length from hardware. Even though it's never been seen to be
> a problem, we should make extra sure that the hardware isn't
> increasing the length since doing so would cause us to overrun the
> buffer.
