What to do

AI-suggested

Disabling AFBC support on the Mediatek MT8188 platform is the current mitigation until an official upstream fix is released.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Mediatek DRM driver related to AFBC support on the Mediatek MT8188 platform causes vblank timeouts and rendering issues.
