Subject: [PATCH] mfd: tps6507x - fix off-by-one value range checking
Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 10:44:39 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1286937879.453.1.camel@mola> (raw)

We use msg[0] for device register.
If bytes == (TPS6507X_MAX_REGISTER + 1),
we got a buffer overflow when doing memcpy(&msg[1], src, bytes);
Thus we must ensure bytes not greater than TPS6507X_MAX_REGISTER.
