Subject: [PATCH 1/3] hwmon: lenovo-ec-sensors: Fix EC signature check logic in probe
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 09:14:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514011411.4167069-2-rh_king@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514011411.4167069-1-rh_king@163.com>
The probe function reads a 4-byte signature ("MCHP") from the EC to
verify it is a Microchip EC before binding the driver. The condition
uses && (AND) to check if each byte differs from the expected value:
if ((byte0 != 'M') && (byte1 != 'C') && (byte2 != 'H') && (byte3 != 'P'))
This rejects the device only if ALL four bytes are wrong simultaneously.
A partially matching signature (e.g. "MXXX") would pass the check and
cause the driver to bind to a non-Microchip EC, as long as at least one
byte matches the expected value.
Change && to || so the driver is rejected when ANY byte does not match
the expected "MCHP" signature.
