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

irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Handle runtime power management correctly

The power domain is automatically activated from clk_prepare(). However, on

certain platforms like i.MX8QM and i.MX8QXP, the power-on handling invokes

sleeping functions, which triggers the 'scheduling while atomic' bug in the

context switch path during device probing:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u13:1/48/0x00000002

Cure this by implementing the irq_bus_lock/sync_unlock() interrupt chip

callbacks and handle power management in them as they are invoked from

non-atomic context.
