Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
leds: an30259a: Use devm_mutex_init() for mutex initialization
In this driver LEDs are registered using devm_led_classdev_register()
so they are automatically unregistered after module's remove() is done.
led_classdev_unregister() calls module's led_set_brightness() to turn off
the LEDs and that callback uses mutex which was destroyed already
in module's remove() so use devm API instead.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 6.6.39)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.9.9)
