TRX and its +subpartitions are handled be a separated parser. + +The problem with old code was relying on the length specified in a TRX +header. That isn't reliable as TRX is commonly modified to have checksum +cover only non-changing subpartitions. Otherwise modifying e.g. a rootfs +would result in CRC32 mismatch and bootloader refusing to boot a +firmware. + +Fix it by trying better to figure out a real TRX size. We can securely +assume that TRX has to cover all subpartitions and the last one is at +least of a block size in size. Then compare it with a length field. + +This makes code more optimal & reliable thanks to skipping data that +shouldn't be parsed. + +Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> +--- + +--- a/drivers/mtd/bcm47xxpart.c ++++ b/drivers/mtd/bcm47xxpart.c +@@ -268,6 +268,8 @@ static int bcm47xxpart_parse(struct mtd_ + /* TRX */ + if (buf[0x000 / 4] == TRX_MAGIC) { + struct trx_header *trx; ++ uint32_t last_subpart; ++ uint32_t trx_size; + + if (trx_num >= ARRAY_SIZE(trx_parts)) + pr_warn("No enough space to store another TRX found at 0x%X\n", +@@ -277,11 +279,23 @@ static int bcm47xxpart_parse(struct mtd_ + bcm47xxpart_add_part(&parts[curr_part++], "firmware", + offset, 0); + +- /* Jump to the end of TRX */ ++ /* ++ * Try to find TRX size.
