This patchset fixes WLED's handling of enabled-strings: besides some
cleanup it is now actually possible to specify a non-contiguous array of
enabled strings (not necessarily starting at zero) and the values from
DT are now validated to prevent possible unexpected out-of-bounds
register and array element accesses.
Off-by-one mistakes in the maximum number of strings, also causing
out-of-bounds access, have been addressed as well.
Changes in v3:
- Use __le16 type for cpu_to_le16 result;
- Reword ambiguity warning between qcom,num-strings and
qcom,enabled-strings to explain that only one should/needs to be set;
- Move this warning from patch 4 patch 5, where the length of
qcom,enabled-strings starts to be taken into account;
- Drop DT patches that have been picked up in the qcom tree.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/T
Changes in v2:
- Reordered patch 4/10 (Validate enabled string indices in DT) to sit
before patch 1/10 (Pass number of elements to read to read_u32_array);
- Pulled qcom,num-strings out of the DT enumeration parser, and moved it
after qcom,enabled-strings parser to always have final sign-off over
the number of strings;
- Extra validation for this number of strings against
qcom,enabled-strings;
- Recombined patch 9 (Consistently use enabled-strings in
set_brightness) and patch 10 (Consider enabled_strings in
autodetection), which both solve the same problem in two different
functions. In addition the autodetection code uses set_brightness as
helper already;
- Improved DT configurations for pmi8994 and pm660l, currently in 5.15
rc's.

They have arrived piecemeal (during v1, v2 and v3) but all patches on
the set should now have my R-b: attached to them.

I can see that. Nothing for you to worry about.
I'll apply these when I conduct my next sweep, thanks.

Thanks for that Lee! Has the next sweep already passed by? Seems
everyone is preparing for the 5.17 merge window but these patches
haven't yet landed on the backlight tree [1]. I'd appreciate it if we
can make them appear in the 5.17 window :)

Thanks!

No need to panic.
v5.17-rc1 isn't due to be cut for either 3.5 or 4.5 weeks.
