commit aef89c0b2417da79cb2062a95476288f9f203ab0 upstream.
This sd_init() function reads the firmware. The firmware data holds a
series of records and the function reads each record and sends the data
to the device. The request_ihex_firmware() function
calls ihex_validate_fw() which ensures that the total length of all the
records won't read out of bounds of the fw->data[].
However, a potential issue is if there is a single very large
record (larger than PAGE_SIZE) and that would result in memory
corruption. Generally we trust the firmware, but it's always better to
double check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
