NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rv package and not the rv package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

phy: qcom-qusb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference on early suspend

Enabling runtime PM before attaching the QPHY instance as driver data can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM callbacks that expect valid driver data. There is a small window where the suspend callback may run after PM runtime enabling and before runtime forbid. This causes a sporadic crash during boot:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a1
[...]
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 11 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.16.7+ #116 PREEMPT
Workqueue: pm pm_runtime_work
pstate: 20000005 (nzCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)
pc : qusb2_phy_runtime_suspend+0x14/0x1e0 [phy_qcom_qusb2]
lr : pm_generic_runtime_suspend+0x2c/0x44
[...]

Attach the QPHY instance as driver data before enabling runtime PM to prevent NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM callbacks.

Reorder pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_forbid() to prevent a short window where an unnecessary runtime suspend can occur.

Use the devres-managed version to ensure PM runtime is symmetrically disabled during driver removal for proper cleanup.
