Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: qcom-geni: Fix blocked task
Revert commit 1afa70632c39 ("serial: qcom-geni: Enable PM runtime for
serial driver") and its dependent commit 86fa39dd6fb7 ("serial:
qcom-geni: Enable Serial on SA8255p Qualcomm platforms") because the
first one causes regression - hang task on Qualcomm RB1 board (QRB2210)
and unable to use serial at all during normal boot:
