NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

ASoC: da7219: Fix an error handling path in da7219_register_dai_clks()

If clk_hw_register() fails, the corresponding clk should not be unregistered.

To handle errors from loops, clean up partial iterations before doing the goto. So add a clk_hw_unregister(). Then use a while (--i >= 0) loop in the unwind section.
