A fix is available in the Linux kernel commits identified by the provided fixedVersions hashes. Users should update to a kernel version that includes these fixes to resolve the runtime PM leak in the arizona GPIO driver.
Description
A runtime power management (PM) reference leak was fixed in the Linux kernel's arizona GPIO driver. The issue occurred when switching a persistent GPIO line from input to output, where a runtime PM reference was acquired but not released if a subsequent update operation failed. This could lead to resource leaks affecting power management.
