[PATCH 1/2] wifi: ath10k: Add missing validation in debugfs mem_value and reg_value

From: Rivaldi Hormat <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-11 07:24:22
Subsystem: atheros ath generic utilities, qualcomm atheros ath10k wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jeff Johnson, Linus Torvalds

mem_value and reg_value don't validate the address and size provided
by the user. This can lead to out-of-bounds access to hardware memory
and registers.

Fix this by adding the missing validation.
