The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a code cleanup change in Trezor's embedded firmware. It moves display de-initialization logic into a new compatibility helper file and renames a clock-setting function to make the code clearer. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability; it appears to be a refactoring to remove a circular dependency between system startup code and the display driver.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine refactoring commit. Reviewers may want to confirm that display_deinit() is still invoked exactly once in each handover path and that the new compatibility.c is included in all relevant STM32F4 model builds, which the build script changes appear to do.

01

Refactoring of bootloader/firmware handover compatibility code

02

Display deinitialization moved to a dedicated compatibility module
