[PATCH] ath9k_hw: Fix bug in eeprom data length validation for AR9485

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

 



The size of the eeprom data is 1088 bytes for AR9485. But
a sanity check is done against 4K which would result in a
'potential read past the end of the buffer' smatch complaint.
