I have seen card implementations where the CDAT table is some sort of
fix buffer, but with entries filled in that do not fill the whole
table length size. Which means that the last DOE ends earlier than the
table end that then contains padding bytes. Spec is not entierly clear
here. It could be interpreted as a spec violation, but DOE is the card
vendor's firmware there is not much that can be done to fix that
there...

So this was the main motivation. It will be likely there are more
cards with that issue.

That is a side effect I realized while implementing this patch. To
prevent an out of bound buffer access, either the buffer needs a
length argument or the length field in the header needs to be checked.
The earlier is more reasonable and natural to me as no buffer insight
is needed for that.

Good point. But that was not the reason. IIR the PCI DOE code
correctly, there is a DW access but only the missing bytes are written
to the buffer. The CDAT structures are all DW aligned, but the DOE
header isn't.

So regardless of padding bytes or not, a length check is required in
any case, one or the other way.
Will update the patch description.
