The current scheme for generating the LFP data table pointers (when the block including them is missing from the VBT) expects the 0xffff sequence to only appear in the fp_timing terminator entries. However some VBTs also have extra 0xffff sequences elsewhere in the LFP data. When looking for the terminators we may end up finding those extra sequeneces insted, which means we deduce the wrong size for the fp_timing table. The code then notices the inconsistent looking values and gives up on the generated data table pointers, preventing us from parsing the LFP data table entirely. Let's give up on the "search for the terminators" approach and instead just hardcode the expected size for the fp_timing table. We have enough sanity checks in place to make sure we shouldn't end up parsing total garbage even if that size should change in the future (although that seems unlikely as the fp_timing and dvo_timing tables have been declared obsolete as of VBT version 229).

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.
