N/A - CVE-2022-49841

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

serial: imx: Add missing .thaw_noirq hook

The following warning is seen with non-console UART instance when system hibernates.

On hibernating, pm core calls into related hooks in sequence like:

.freeze
.freeze_noirq
.thaw_noirq
.thaw

With .thaw_noirq hook being absent, the clock will be disabled in a unbalanced call which results the warning above.

imx_uart_freeze()
clk_prepare_enable()
imx_uart_suspend_noirq()
clk_disable()
imx_uart_thaw
clk_disable_unprepare()

Adding the missing .thaw_noirq hook as imx_uart_resume_noirq() will have the call sequence corrected as below and thus fix the warning.

imx_uart_freeze()
clk_prepare_enable()
imx_uart_suspend_noirq()
clk_disable()
imx_uart_resume_noirq()
clk_enable()
imx_uart_thaw
clk_disable_unprepare()
