Uwe Kleine-König 6f4f2a443d can: flexcan: fix NULL pointer exception during bringup
commit a55234dabe upstream.

Commit cbffaf7aa0 ("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 0517961ccd ("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.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
