tg3: fix length overflow in VPD firmware parsing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 184b890 ("tg3: Use VPD fw version
when present") introduced VPD parsing that contained a potential length
overflow.

Limit the hardware's reported firmware string length (max 255 bytes) to
stay inside the driver's firmware string length (32 bytes). On overflow,
truncate the formatted firmware string instead of potentially overwriting
portions of the tg3 struct.
