Both, surely? The hardware shouldn't give bad input, and the kernel should tolerate it if it does.

Edit: Sorry, I take it back: That data is weird, but not malformed; the hardware isn't out of line and I think the driver is fully at fault.

Yeah, it would be the hardware's fault if it delivered 1000 volts. Delivering any sequence of 1s and 0s should maybe cause the driver to give up, but not to panic the kernel.
