The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes a temporary fallback mechanism from the Trezor hardware wallet's core firmware. The fallback feature was used during encrypted communication when normal memory buffers were busy. The commit message says it will be reimplemented later after internal refactoring. There is no indication in the commit itself that this fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be a routine cleanup of unfinished code.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as a feature-removal refactor. If the fallback behavior was relied upon for multi-host concurrency, monitor subsequent commits for the promised reimplementation and verify that dropping packets when buffers are locked does not introduce denial-of-service or reliability issues.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
