[RFC] sierra: avoid trailing bytes leading to garbage parsing

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>
Date: 2022-02-17 10:29:18
Also in: linux-usb
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, usb networking drivers, usb smsc75xx ethernet driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Steve Glendinning

The driver's main loop isn't ready for a device sending
some trailing bytes as it tests for an exact match between
package and accumulated frames.
We would parse some garbage from the heap and follow its
pointers.
