[PATCH v1 1/3] pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Fully validate 'pinmux' property
From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 06:47:52 EST
The pinconf_generic_parse_dt_pinmux() assumes that the 'pinmux' property
is not empty when present. This might be not true. With that, the allocator
will give a special value in return and not NULL which lead to the crash
when trying to access that (invalid) memory. Fix that by fully validating
'pinmux' value, including its length.
Fixes: 7112c05fff83 ("pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Add API for pinmux propertity in DTS file")
