[PATCH v2 0/3] Fixes for the mcp2221 HID-to-I2C-bridge driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In this patch series are fixes for issues I found during recent tests of
an MCP2221 board.

- you can confuse the kernel driver when using the chip from user mode
  via /dev/hidrawX, typically leading to a NULL pointer dereference in
  the driver's HID raw event handler

- the driver needs > 15s to initialize because the HID raw handling is
  not enabled during initialization of the GPIO part

- the rxbuf pointer can become invalid or even stale if the device would
  send unsolicited reports

Changes in v2:

- removed: data shared with the bottom half code is not protected from
  concurrent access

Feedback if this is actually needed or not would be appreciated.

- rebased on linux-hid/for-6.2/mcp2221

Enrik Berkhan (3):
  HID: mcp2221: don't connect hidraw
  HID: mcp2221: enable HID I/O during GPIO probe
  HID: mcp2221: avoid stale rxbuf pointer
