    can: flexcan: fix NULL pointer exception during bringup · 6f4f2a44
    Uwe Kleine-König authored
    commit a55234da upstream.
    
    Commit cbffaf7a ("can: flexcan: Always use last mailbox for TX")
    introduced a loop letting i run up to (including) ARRAY_SIZE(regs->mb)
    and in the body accessed regs->mb[i] which is an out-of-bounds array
    access that then resulted in an access to an reserved register area.
    
    Later this was changed by commit 0517961c ("can: flexcan: Add
    provision for variable payload size") to iterate a bit differently but
    still runs one iteration too much resulting to call
    
    	flexcan_get_mb(priv, priv->mb_count)
    
    which results in a WARN_ON and then a NULL pointer exception. This
    only affects devices compatible with "fsl,p1010-flexcan",
    "fsl,imx53-flexcan", "fsl,imx35-flexcan", "fsl,imx25-flexcan",
    "fsl,imx28-flexcan", so newer i.MX SoCs are not affected.
