Firmware files are in ASCII, using 2 hex characters per byte. The maximum length of a firmware string is therefore 16 (commands) * 2 (bytes per command) * 2 (characters per byte) = 64 Signed-off-by: Nick Stoughton <nstoughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/leds/leds-lp5562.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/leds/leds-lp5562.c b/drivers/leds/leds-lp5562.c index 37632fc63741..e00117e3b50d 100644 --- a/drivers/leds/leds-lp5562.c +++ b/drivers/leds/leds-lp5562.c @@ -260,7 +260,11 @@ static void lp5562_firmware_loaded(struct lp55xx_chip *chip) { const struct firmware *fw = chip->fw; - if (fw->size > LP5562_PROGRAM_LENGTH) { + /* + * the firmware is encoded in ascii hex character, with 2 chars + * per byte + */ + if (fw->size > (LP5562_PROGRAM_LENGTH * 2)) { dev_err(&chip->cl->dev, "firmware data size overflow: %zu\n", fw->size); return; -- Nick Stoughton
