This patch fixes an incorrect loop exit condition in code that replaces '/' symbols in the board name. There might also be a memory corruption issue here, but it is unlikely to be a real problem.

Best regards,
Hi,
Thanks for your patch.
FYI: kernel test robot notices the stable kernel rule is not satisfied.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the stable kernel tree. Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.

Sorry about that, let's just skip the stable tree part for now then.

That's not how to solve the problem, if it's a bug that needs to be fixed in stable kernels, submit it properly and it will automatically be propagated there as the documentation states.
