fdt_num_mem_rsv() may return -FDT_ERR_TRUNCATED.
In this case fdt_pack() should propagate the error code.

1. Please choose imperative wordings for an improved change description.
    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.10-rc6#n94

The current subject is an imperative?


2. Would you like to add any tags (like “Fixes” and “Cc”)?

d5db5382c5e5 ("libfdt: Safer access to memory reservations") introduced the check that returns the error code. But before that we could simply overrun the buffer. I would not know which patch to blame.

Whom do you want to Cc?


3. How do you think about to use a summary phrase like “Complete error handling
    in fdt_pack()”?


Why should I choose a less specific subject?

Best regards

Heinrich
