[PATCH v2] media: require two-byte Cypress type 04 records

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-media,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Both Cypress Intel HEX parsers read two address bytes from type 04
records. Generic record framing permits any record length, so a short
record can make the parser consume the checksum or bytes beyond the
firmware record. A longer record also violates the Intel HEX type 04
layout.

Require the type 04 payload length to be exactly two bytes in both
implementations.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
- enforce the Intel HEX type 04 exact two-byte payload contract
- apply the same contract to both independent Cypress parsers

The Intel HEX record contract was reviewed statically; malformed firmware
was not injected into either Cypress loader.
