In mii_nway_restart() during the line:
bmcr = mii->mdio_read(mii->dev, mii->phy_id, MII_BMCR);
The code attempts to call mii->mdio_read which is ch9200_mdio_read().
ch9200_mdio_read() utilises a local buffer, which is initialised with control_read():
unsigned char buff[2];
However buff is conditionally initialised inside control_read():
if (err == size) { memcpy(data, buf, size); }
If the condition of "err == size" is not met, then buff remains uninitialised. Once this happens the uninitialised buff is accessed and returned during ch9200_mdio_read():
return (buff[0] | buff[1] << 8);
The problem stems from the fact that ch9200_mdio_read() ignores the return value of control_read(), leading to uinit-access of buff.
To fix this we should check the return value of control_read() and return early on error.
Furthermore the get_mac_address() function has a similar problem where it does not directly check the return value of each control_read(), instead it sums up the return values and checks them all at the end which means if any call to control_read() fails the function just continues on.
Handle this by validating the return value of each call and fail fast and early instead of continuing.
Lastly ch9200_bind() ignores the return values of multiple control_write() calls.
Validate each control_write() call to ensure it succeeds before continuing with the next call.

Hi Qasim,
I see that these problems are related, but this is quite a lot of fixes for one patch: the rule of thumb is one fix per patch. Could you consider splitting it up along those lines?

If I understand things correctly, control_read() can (only) return:
* 2: success * negative error value: a different failure mode
If so, I think it would be more idiomatic to write this as:
if (ret < 0) return ret;
This makes it easier for those reading the code to see that an error value is being returns on error.
Likewise elsewhere in this patch.

Please split the patch in a small series, as suggested by Simon.
Please additionally include the target tree name ('net', in this case) in the subj prefix.
Thanks,
