Patch Review

This patch hardens the `ucode()` function:

1. **`falcon_ucode_offset` bounds check**: Uses `.get(self.falcon_ucode_offset..)` instead of computing `ucode_data_offset = falcon_ucode_offset + desc.size()` which could overflow.

2. **Size computation**: The old `desc.imem_load_size() + desc.dmem_load_size()` (both `u32`) could overflow. The fix uses `checked_add`:

```rust
+ let size = usize::from_safe_cast(
+ desc.imem_load_size()
+ .checked_add(desc.dmem_load_size())
+ .ok_or(ERANGE)?,
+ );
```

3. **Data slicing**: Instead of computing `ucode_data_offset..ucode_data_offset + size` (two potential overflows), the fix chains two `.get()` calls:

```rust
+ data.get(desc.size()..)
+ .and_then(|data| data.get(..size))
.ok_or(ERANGE)
```

This avoids all intermediate arithmetic overflow and is correct.

The change from `EINVAL` in other patches to `ERANGE` here is consistent with the original code for this function — it already used `ERANGE` for this error case.

**Reviewed-by assessment: Good.**

**Summary**: All 5 patches are correct and improve robustness against malformed firmware data. The only item worth raising with the author is the unchecked `offset -= pci_at_image.base.data.len()` at the top of `setup_falcon_data` (around line 926 in the original), which has the same subtraction-underflow pattern that patch 3 fixes for `ucode_offset` but was not addressed.
