Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's imx mailbox driver was addressed by changing the power management runtime enablement sequence. The issue involved early usage of the device before probe completion, which could cause improper device removal and shutdown sequences. The fix delays pm_runtime_enable() to the removal path and adjusts the order of mailbox controller registration and power management handling to ensure correct device lifecycle management.
