The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new internal telemetry feature to the Trezor firmware that records the minimum and maximum battery temperature in a small, protected memory area (backup RAM). It only stores a float value for the coldest and hottest battery readings and does not send data anywhere. There is no obvious security bug in the code, but it is a new subsystem that touches low-level firmware components and could become relevant if future changes connect it to untrusted inputs or expose it externally.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine feature commit with no immediate security action. Reviewers should verify in follow-up commits that telemetry data is not exposed to untrusted host interfaces, that backup RAM access controls are appropriate for public items, and that the SMCALL surface cannot be abused to corrupt the backup RAM region or leak sensitive data.

Security signals we found

01

New secure-monitor call surface added (two SMCALL numbers)

02

Pointer arguments to SMCALL_TELEMETRY_GET_BATT_TEMP_MIN_MAX are validated with probe_write_access() before dereference

03

Telemetry data is stored in backup RAM as BACKUP_RAM_ITEM_PUBLIC

04

No changelog entry despite new feature ([no changelog])

05

Data is local only; no network or USB exfiltration code is present in this commit
