[PATCH] e100: prevent shift out-of-bounds in e100_eeprom_load

When reading the EEPROM address length, e100_eeprom_read() can return
an invalid length (0 or >= 16). Passing an invalid addr_len to bit-shift
operations causes a shift out-of-bounds, triggering a kernel panic or
UBSAN warning.

Validate addr_len after reading it from EEPROM and return -EINVAL if
the value is out of bounds. Additionally, use 1U to prevent
signed integer overflow when calculating eeprom_wc.

An invalid address length here appears to indicate an unexpected
response from the EEPROM, rather than an invalid argument. Therefore,
-EINVAL seems somewhat misleading. Would -EIO be more appropriate here?

Also, e100_eeprom_save() seems to have the same pattern. Shouldn't we
fix that as well?

The commit message says that the U suffix prevents signed integer
overflow. However, after the validation addr_len is in [1, 15], so 1 <<
addr_len cannot overflow an int. I think what prevents the out-of-bounds
shift is the validation, not the U.

Agreed, addr_len comes from an unexpected EEPROM response,
so i will change -EINVAL to -EIO.

yes, i'll fix e100_eeprom_save() as well.

Agreed, I'll remove the unnecessary U suffix.
I made these changes and will send v2.
