This reverts commit 939779f515.
Attempts to validate length in the core did not work out: there turn out
to exist multiple broken devices, and in particular legacy devices are
known to be broken in this respect.
We have ideas for handling this better in the next version but for now
let's revert to a known good state to make sure drivers work for people.

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.
