Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: bridge: adv7511: unregister cec i2c device after cec adapter
cec_unregister_adapter() assumes that the underlying adapter ops are
callable. For example, if the CEC adapter currently has a valid physical
address, then the unregistration procedure will invalidate the physical
address by setting it to f.f.f.f. Whence the following kernel oops
observed after removing the adv7511 module:
Unable to handle kernel execution of user memory at virtual address 0000000000000000
Internal error: Oops: 86000004 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
Protect against this scenario by unregistering i2c_cec after
unregistering the CEC adapter. Duly disable the CEC clock afterwards
too.
