AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The workaround involves gating off clocks during VC8000E power up as described in the errata. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions to resolve this issue.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the i.MX8MP VC8000E power up sequence has been resolved. The issue involves a timing problem with the VC8000E reset de-assertion edge and AXI clock, which can cause the VPU_NOC power down handshake to hang during power cycling. A workaround involves gating off clocks during power up. This vulnerability affects specific Linux kernel versions used in the linux-hwe-edge product line. A patch is available to address this issue.
