AI-suggested

A fix is available that reworks the runtime PM handling in the fsl_audmix driver probe function. Systems should apply the updated Linux kernel versions containing this fix. No additional mitigation is required if the fix is applied.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ASoC fsl_audmix driver caused system hangs due to register writes targeting unpowered hardware between probe initialization and the first runtime resume. The issue arises because the AUDMIX block remains powered off after pm_runtime_enable() until the first runtime resume, leading to failed register accesses. The fix involves powering up the hardware immediately after pm_runtime_enable() and handling cases where runtime PM is disabled to ensure hardware initialization and clock enabling.
