Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before In polling mode, if no IRQ was requested there is no need to free it. Call devm_free_irq() only if client->irq is set. This fixes the warning caused by the tps6598x module removal: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 333 at kernel/irq/devres.c:144 devm_free_irq+0x80/0x8c ... ...
