Those IDs is binary data, can be anything and you have comment of what is expected here. But I think it would be nice to create a separate definitions and make comments there. > + dev_warn(&wdev->dev, "Dell descriptor buffer has invalid signature (%*ph)\n", > + 8, desc_buffer); %8ph ? > + > + if (desc_buffer[2] != 0 && desc_buffer[2] != 1) > + dev_warn(&wdev->dev, "Dell descriptor buffer has unknown version (%d)\n", > + desc_buffer[2]); %u ? u32 can't be negative and you basically allow it. > + > + if (desc_buffer[3] != 4096) > + dev_warn(&wdev->dev, "Dell descriptor buffer has invalid buffer length (%d)\n", > + desc_buffer[3]); Ditto. P.S. I noticed this all in old code, so, you can address my comments in a separate patch if you find them useful. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
