Dear Maintainers,
I've investigated CVE-2024-38541 since I'm running Debian 12 instances
on AWS and Amazon Inspector alerts it is critical vuln.
It seems that it is easily applied to 6.1 branch with some modification
as attached patch. I've already sent it to original author and reviewer
but not get any reply, so I'm maybe wrong...
Anyway, could you check it, please?
Thank you.

Subject: [PATCH] of: device: add buffer overflow check in
of_device_get_modalias() (CVE-2024-38541)
[ Upstream commit cf7385cb26ac4f0ee6c7385960525ad534323252 ]
In of_modalias(), if the buffer happens to be too small even for the 1st snprintf() call, the len parameter will become negative and str parameter
(if not NULL initially) will point beyond the buffer's end. Add the buffer overflow check after the 1st snprintf() call and fix such check after the strlen() call (accounting for the terminating NUL char).

drivers/of/module.c was splited from drivers/of/device.c, so same fix can
be applied to device.c.
