nvmem: brcm_nvram: fix out-of-bounds access on malformed flash data

Browse source

The length check in brcm_nvram_parse() validated header->len against
priv->nvmem_size (the full partition size) instead of priv->data_len
(the actual allocated data buffer). A malformed flash partition with
header->len between the two would pass the check, causing
brcm_nvram_add_cells() to read and write priv->data[len - 1] beyond
the heap allocation.

Also add a minimum bound: len < sizeof(*header) could underflow the
data[len - 1] access.

Fix both bounds by rejecting len outside [sizeof(*header), priv->data_len].
