AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to resolve this issue. The fix introduces a shared MIPI PHY power domain to properly manage shared resources between DSI and CSI domains. Users should update to patched kernel versions as provided by their Linux distribution or vendor. No additional mitigations are specified or required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the power management domain for MIPI DSI and CSI interfaces was resolved. The issue involved shared control bits for clock and reset between the DSI and CSI domains, which could lead to incorrect behavior if one domain disabled shared resources while the other was still active. The fix introduced a shared MIPI PHY power domain to properly manage these shared resources and prevent improper disabling.
