Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: dsi: Store driver data before invoking mipi_dsi_host_register
The call to mipi_dsi_host_register triggers a callback to mtk_dsi_bind,
which uses dev_get_drvdata to retrieve the mtk_dsi struct, so this
structure needs to be stored inside the driver data before invoking it.
As drvdata is currently uninitialized it leads to a crash when
registering the DSI DRM encoder right after acquiring
the mode_config.idr_mutex, blocking all subsequent DRM operations.
Fixes the following crash during mediatek-drm probe (tested on Xiaomi
Smart Clock x04g):
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
0000000000000040
