This series addresses code analysis defects in the common/sfc_efx/base library.
The first four patches fix excessive stack consumption in MCDI helper functions, each exceeding 1 KB on-stack, by switching to heap-allocated payload buffers. The remaining ten patches correct SAL annotations, add NULL checks across netport and filter helpers, resolving uninitialised memory, buffer overrun, and potential dereference issues. The final patch widens loop variable types to address a CodeQL warning.
