Subject: [PATCH net] net: usb: lan78xx: reject invalid EEPROM write requests
Date: Fri,  9 Oct 2026 02:57:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009005702.164936-1-stefanomunari.sm@gmail.com> (raw)

The runtime PM handling removed the -EINVAL return for invalid
EEPROM/OTP write requests. These requests now return zero from a
successful usb_autopm_get_interface() call, even though no data is
written.

Set ret to -EINVAL for invalid requests while preserving the runtime
PM reference release.

Fixes: 8a7ffeb795f8 ("lan78xx: Fix for eeprom read/write when device auto suspend")
Signed-off-by: Stefano Munari <stefanomunari.sm@gmail.com>

Tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with the onboard Ethernet
controller, using raspberrypi/linux commit bba53a117a4a on the
rpi-6.6.y branch as the baseline.

  ethtool -E eth0 magic 0 offset 0 length 1 value 0

The command succeeds without the patch and reports "Invalid argument"
with the patch applied.
