5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maoyi Xie <redacted>

commit 169ae5e65e5aaf213b6a578f6478a9fd2e523606 upstream.

w1_f19_i2c_master_transfer() is the master_xfer for the DS28E17 1-Wire
to I2C bridge. On an I2C_M_RECV_LEN read, it takes the length from the
device. The downstream slave puts a length byte in buf[0]. The driver
then reads that many bytes into buf[1] with w1_f19_i2c_read().

buf[0] is controlled by the device and can be 0 to 255.
w1_f19_i2c_read() only rejects a zero count. The caller buffer is
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2, so 34 bytes. A length above 32 makes the read
run past it, up to about 222 bytes out of bounds.

The SMBus core does check buf[0] against I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX. That
check runs after master_xfer returns. By then the write is already
done. i2c-algo-bit rejects an oversize length before it copies, and
returns -EPROTO.

Reject a length above I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX at both RECV_LEN sites, the
same way i2c-algo-bit does.
