While testing, I happened to notice a random crash that looked like:
Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector:
Kernel stack is corrupted in: drm_dp_dpcd_probe+0x120/0x120
Analysis of drm_dp_dpcd_probe() shows that we pass in a 1-byte buffer
(allocated on the stack) to the aux->transfer() function. Presumably
if the aux->transfer() writes more than one byte to this buffer then
we're in a bad shape.
Dropping into kgdb, I noticed that "aux->transfer" pointed at
ps8640_aux_transfer().
Reading through ps8640_aux_transfer(), I can see that there are cases
where it could write more bytes to msg->buffer than were specified by
msg->size. This could happen if the hardware reported back something
bogus to us. Let's fix this so we never write more than msg->size
bytes. We'll still read all the bytes from the hardware just in case
the hardware requires it since the aux transfer data comes through an
auto-incrementing register.
NOTE: I have no actual way to reproduce this issue but it seems likely
this is what was happening in the crash I looked at.
Fixes: 13afcdd7277e ("drm/bridge: parade-ps8640: Add support for AUX channel")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
