    Added Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: unbreak driver after cleanup

    Commit 29be47fcd6a0 (“nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem_probe cleanup”)
    changed the driver to expect the device pointer to be passed as the
    “context”, but in nvmem the context parameter comes from nvmem_config.priv
    which is never set – Leading to null pointer exceptions when the device is
    accessed.
