Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/bridge samsung-dsim driver related to improper management of TE GPIO lifetime during host attach has been fixed. The issue involved incorrect use of managed GPIO descriptor functions, leading to potential resource mismanagement when the DSI host is detached and reattached without device destruction. The fix reverts to non-managed GPIO acquisition and ensures explicit release of GPIO resources on error and unregister paths.
