v2 cover Handle bad policies for AMD-PMF better

From: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>

There are assumptions in AMD-PMF code regarding policies being valid both from firmware and from sideloading. This series adds an extra test to ensure policies aren't empty and also handles a memory leak in the cleanup path for the sideloaded policies.

v2:
* call memchr_inv from helper
* Split out cleanup error to it's own patch

PATCH v2 1/2 drivers/platform/x86/amd: pmf: Check for invalid sideloaded Smart PC Policies

From: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>

If a policy is passed into amd_pmf_get_pb_data() that causes the engine to fail to start there is a memory leak. Free the memory in this failure path.

Fixes 10817f28e5337 ("platform/x86/amd/pmf: Add capability to sideload of policy binary")

PATCH v2 2/2 drivers/platform/x86/amd: pmf: Check for invalid Smart PC Policies

In reply to Mario Limonciello

From: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>

commit 376a8c2a14439 ("platform/x86/amd/pmf: Update PMF Driver for Compatibility with new PMF-TA") added support for platforms that support an updated TA, however it also exposed a number of platforms that although they have support for the updated TA don't actually populate a policy binary.

Add an explicit check that the policy binary isn't empty before initializing the TA.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local review-ilpo-fixes branch. Note it will show up in the public platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-fixes branch only once I've pushed my local branch there, which might take a while.
