The bus matching rework made of_match_bus() return NULL for nodes
with ranges/dma-ranges but no local #address-cells. parser_init()
stored that NULL bus, and the range iterator later dereferenced it.
Reject such nodes in parser_init(), leaving an explicit empty iterator
for callers that ignore the init return. Keep the DMA limit walk guarded
by a non-empty dma-ranges property, and only clamp the limit when at
least one complete range was parsed.
Fixes: 64ee3cf096ac ("of/address: Rework bus matching to avoid warnings")

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
New issues:
- [High] A malformed device tree with zeroed address and size cells causes a division by zero in `of_range_count()`, leading to a kernel panic during boot.
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Implicit casting of `u32` to `int` in cell count functions allows negative cell counts, resulting in out-of-bounds memory accesses.

of/address: Fix NULL bus dereference in of_pci_range_parser_one()
This commit avoids a NULL pointer dereference by rejecting nodes without a
valid bus in parser_init(). It also explicitly guards the DMA limit walk
with a check to of_range_count().

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could a malformed Device Tree with large
cell counts cause an out-of-bounds read here?
If a device tree provides a very large unsigned value like 0x80000000 for
address or size cells, the count becomes negative due to the implicit cast
in of_bus_n_addr_cells():
drivers/of/base.c:of_bus_n_addr_cells() {
u32 cells;
...
if (!of_property_read_u32(np, "#address-cells", &cells))
return cells;
}
Because np (pna + na + ns) becomes negative, the bounds check
parser->range + np > parser->end is bypassed. This negative value is then
passed to of_read_number(), which uses a post-decrement loop:
include/linux/of.h:of_read_number() {
...
for (; size--; cell++)
...
}
Will this cause the loop to execute excessively and read memory beyond the
allocated buffer?

[Severity: High]
Does this new call to of_range_count() trigger a division by zero if the
device tree explicitly zeroes the address and size cells?
If a malformed device tree sets #address-cells and #size-cells to 0 on a
node and its parent, the parser fields na, pna, and ns will all be 0.
When of_range_count() is called, it performs an unchecked division:
include/linux/of_address.h:of_range_count() {
...
return (parser->end - parser->range) / (parser->na + parser->pna + parser->ns);
}
Since the sum of the cells is 0, will this result in a kernel panic during
boot or device hotplug?
