Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's spi-qcom-qspi driver involved incomplete error handling in runtime power management (PM) functions. This flaw could cause the system to enter an inconsistent state during suspend or resume operations, potentially leading to clock and power imbalances. The issue was addressed by reordering suspend/resume sequences and adding comprehensive error checking with proper cleanup to ensure resource states remain consistent.
