AI-suggested
A patch is available that corrects the pointer usage in the cadence-quadspi driver's runtime suspend and resume functions. Users should update to a fixed Linux kernel version to remediate this issue. Since this is a kernel-level bug, applying the official kernel updates from the vendor or distribution is the recommended mitigation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's cadence-quadspi driver causes incorrect pointer usage in runtime suspend and resume functions, leading to memory corruption and potential kernel crashes. This occurs because the driver incorrectly treats the same device driver data pointer as two different structures, causing invalid memory access during device power management operations. The issue affects multiple Linux kernel versions and has been resolved in patched releases.
