AI-suggested
A fix is available that explicitly initializes the DMA mask for the SSI controller device. Users should apply the official Linux kernel updates that include this fix. Since this is a kernel-level vulnerability, updating to patched kernel versions is the recommended remediation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's OMAP SSI driver was fixed by explicitly initializing the DMA mask for the SSI controller device. The driver previously lacked a DMA mask setup due to its synthetic HSI controller device allocation, causing crashes or warnings during DMA mapping operations after recent DMA API hardening changes.
