AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied. Updated Linux kernel versions include the fix that prevents the deadlock by adding a runtime PM get call during MediaTek clock controller probing. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions and reboot to apply the changes.
Description
A deadlock vulnerability in the Linux kernel's MediaTek clock controller probing was resolved by ensuring a runtime PM get call during probe to prevent lock acquisition conflicts. This issue affected multiple Linux kernel versions and could cause a denial of service due to deadlock. The vulnerability has been fixed in updated kernel releases.
