Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] net: pse-pd: si3474: validate the channels of a PI
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 18:24:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019162453.1244120-3-piotr@kubik.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019162453.1244120-1-piotr@kubik.pl>
si3474_get_of_channels() accepted channel 8, one past the last channel.
The driver then accessed channel 4 instead: quad 1, channel index 0.
It also accepted a 4-pair PI whose two channels are not a channel pair
of one quad. The chip forms a 4-pair port only from channels 0+1 or 2+3
of a quad (2P/4P mode bit in POWER_ALLOCATION, PORT_REMAP default), and
the driver sends every register access of a PI to the quad of its first
channel, so such a PI enabled and measured the wrong channels.
Reject both at probe.
Discovered by an AI code review agent; no shipped device tree triggers
it. Validated and tested on an SDG-9000 board (MediaTek MT7988A, two
Si3474) with Linux 6.18 and a modified device tree: one chip with a
channel at reg 8, the other with a 4-pair PI on channels 1 and 2. The
driver now rejects both at probe, and the unmodified device tree still
probes all eight PIs. No kernel selftest covers PSE hardware.
