[PATCH v2] thunderbolt: validate DROM entry lengths
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Fri Jul 31 2026 - 10:28:46 EST
tb_drom_parse_entries() checks that a DROM entry does not run past the
end of the DROM, but it does not require the declared entry length to
cover the entry header itself. A one-byte generic string entry therefore
makes the payload length calculation underflow.
Require each entry to contain its two-byte header before dispatching to
the type-specific DROM entry parsers. Also require a USB4 product
descriptor entry to contain the vendor and product fields read by its
parser.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260706091532.77293-1-pengpeng@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- use the full author name in From and Signed-off-by as requested by
Mika Westerberg
- validate the fields read from USB4 product descriptor entries
- rebase onto the current tree
