This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

firmware: google: increment VPD key_len properly

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Commit 4b708b7b1a2c ("firmware: google: check if size is valid when decoding VPD data") adds length checks, but the new vpd_decode_entry() function botched the logic -- it adds the key length twice, instead of adding the key and value lengths separately.

On my local system, this means vpd.c's vpd_section_create_attribs() hits an error case after the first attribute it parses, since it's no longer looking at the correct offset. With this patch, I'm back to seeing all the correct attributes in /sys/firmware/vpd/...
