The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in the Trezor bootloader. It moves the generic, image-type-agnostic parts of firmware upload (chunk receiving, retry logic, flash erasing/writing, timeouts) into a new reusable module called wf_image_upload.c, while keeping the firmware-specific checks (signatures, versions, user confirmation, per-chunk hash checks) in wf_firmware_update.c. There is no direct evidence in the diff that this change fixes or introduces a security vulnerability; it appears to be a structural refactor to make the upload code reusable for other image types in the future.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. Treat as a normal code-quality refactor. If this refactor is a prerequisite for a future feature (e.g., a new image type using the generic engine), review the new handler implementations when they are added, since any new image type would inherit the engine's assumptions about chunk offsets, erase offsets, and retry behavior.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor only: logic moved, not changed in security-relevant ways

02

Same signature/version/model/downgrade checks remain in firmware-specific handler

03

Same flash erase/write sequence preserved in generic engine

04

Same chunk retry and hash verification behavior preserved

05

No changelog entry and no advisory or CVE referenced in commit
