Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: propagate user-data allocation errors
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:01:59 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811-sunxi-nand-protected-oob-fixes-v1-1-412e50444673@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811-sunxi-nand-protected-oob-fixes-v1-0-412e50444673@gmail.com>

sunxi_nfc_maximize_user_data() returns -ENOMEM when its per-step
length array cannot be allocated, but the caller ignores that error.
The NULL array then makes sunxi_nfc_user_data_sz() report the fixed
four-byte fallback, which is not the layout that the variable-length
setup calculated.

Return the setup error so an allocation failure cannot silently select
and validate a different OOB layout.

Fixes: 54dcd6aa69db ("mtd: rawnand: sunxi: introduce maximize variable user data length")
