The value hdev->sfr.kva is stored in DMA memory, and it is assigned to
sfr, so sfr->buf_size can be modified at anytime by malicious hardware. 
In this case, a buffer overflow may happen when the code 
"sfr->data[sfr->buf_size - 1]" is executed.

To fix this possible bug, sfr->buf_size is assigned to a local variable,
and then this variable is checked before being used.

That seems plain wrong to me... I suspect you wanted to do,
instead:

	if (buf_size < 1)

or even:
	if (buf_size < 1 || buf_size >= maximum_size_of_data)

Well, a malicious hardware with DMA access could simply write 0 to
some random address, without needing to rely on the value
of sfr->buf_size. I can't see how a change like that would prevent
that.

A check like that only makes sense if the driver can ever
call this function with an invalid value for sfr->buf_size.
