This patch series adds support for MT7928 (device ID 0x7935) to the
btmtk driver, which requires a new two-stage firmware loading process
with CBMCU firmware.
The series is organized to fix existing issues first, then improve code
quality, and finally add new functionality:
Patch 1 fixes a pre-existing security issue in btmtk_setup_firmware_79xx()
by adding comprehensive firmware size validation to prevent out-of-bounds
memory access with truncated or malicious firmware files.
Patch 2 fixes a regression introduced in commit 28b7c5a6db74
("Bluetooth: btmtk: Add MT6639 (MT7927) Bluetooth support") where
SDIO devices would incorrectly log "BT HW ver: 0x0000" due to
hardcoded dev_id=0.
The fix passes the device ID read from hardware register (0x70010200) to
mt79xx_setup(), ensuring SDIO devices display the correct chip ID, matching
the USB driver behavior.
Patch 3 refactors existing firmware download code by replacing magic
numbers with a descriptive BTMTK_WMT_PKT_* enum, making the packet
sequencing logic clearer.
Patch 4 improves BT firmware logging to provide more useful information
for debugging: adds firmware filename before loading and displays chip ID
as HW version instead of firmware's hwver field.
Patch 5 implements MT7928 firmware download flow, which requires loading
CBMCU firmware before Bluetooth firmware. The CBMCU firmware uses a
two-phase download sequence: Phase 1 downloads the section containing
global descriptor and signature data, Phase 2 downloads the remaining
firmware sections.
Tested on MT7928 hardware with successful firmware loading and
Bluetooth functionality verification.
Changes in v8:
- Add Patch 1 to fix firmware size validation in
btmtk_setup_firmware_79xx()
- Add Patch 2 to fix SDIO device logging regression
SDIO devices were passing hardcoded 0, causing "BT HW ver: 0x0000" log
Changes in v7:
- Patch 3 (was Patch 1): Extend magic number refactoring to
btmtk_setup_firmware() in addition to btmtk_setup_firmware_79xx() for
consistency
- Patch 4 (was Patch 2): Fix potential buffer over-read by
using %.16s format specifier for hdr->datetime which is a 16-byte
array that may not be null-terminated
- Patch 5 (was Patch 3): Apply same %.16s fix to CBMCU firmware logging
Changes in v6:
- Fix timeout handling in btmtk_cbmcu_patch_status() to return -ETIMEDOUT
instead of success when polling exhausts retry count
- Add integer overflow protection in btmtk_load_cbmcu_firmware() using
check_mul_overflow() and check_add_overflow()
Changes in v5:
- Split into three patches: refactoring, logging improvement, and
new feature
- Add Patch 2 to improve BT firmware logging independently
- Apply same logging improvements to CBMCU firmware in Patch 3
Changes in v4:
- Split into two patches: refactoring and new feature
- Add BTMTK_WMT_PKT_* enum to improve code readability
- Replace magic numbers (0xF0, 0xF1) with descriptive macros
Changes in v3:
- Add firmware size validation with bounds checking
- Improve error messages with context information
Changes in v2:
- Simplified enum usage by consolidating status definitions
