This series fixes several bugs in the hp-bioscfg driver:

1. Memory safety issues (patches 1-6):
   - Off-by-one NUL terminator write in hp_get_string_from_buffer()
   - Heap OOB read in sk_store()/kek_store() when passing original count
     instead of trimmed length to hp_wmi_perform_query()
   - Heap OOB read on empty password write in validate_password_input()
   - 16-byte heap overflow in hp_calculate_security_buffer() for empty
     authentication tokens
   - Off-by-one heap OOB write in audit_log_entries_show() when more
     than 256 log entries are reported
   - Missing bounds check in the PSWD_ENCODINGS parsing loop

2. Logic bugs (patches 7-8):
   - new_password_store() incorrectly passing is_current=true, causing
     writes to land in current_password instead
   - ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS case using a stale NULL str_value pointer
     instead of converting the current ACPI element directly

3. ACPI package element index tracking (patches 9-13):
   - Five attribute-type parsers (enum, int, string, order-list, passwd)
     all share the same defect: multi-element array cases
     (PREREQUISITES, ENUM_POSSIBLE_VALUES, PSWD_ENCODINGS) consume
     "size" consecutive elements but the outer loop only advances by
     one, causing the next iteration to misread a leftover array entry
     as the next property and abort with -EIO

Tested on HP EliteBook 840 G2 (BIOS M71 Ver. 01.31), kernel 7.2.0-rc5+,
with CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC=y and CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y.

This series applies on top of:
  commit ea4d8f8ba283 ("platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix
  slab-out-of-bounds write in hp_convert_hexstr_to_str")
