Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
spi: bcm-qspi: return error if neither hif_mspi nor mspi is available<br />
<br />
If neither a "hif_mspi" nor "mspi" resource is present, the driver will<br />
just early exit in probe but still return success. Apart from not doing<br />
anything meaningful, this would then also lead to a null pointer access<br />
on removal, as platform_get_drvdata() would return NULL, which it would<br />
then try to dereference when trying to unregister the spi master.<br />
<br />
Fix this by unconditionally calling devm_ioremap_resource(), as it can<br />
handle a NULL res and will then return a viable ERR_PTR() if we get one.<br />
<br />
The "return 0;" was previously a "goto qspi_resource_err;" where then<br />
ret was returned, but since ret was still initialized to 0 at this place<br />
this was a valid conversion in 63c5395bb7a9 ("spi: bcm-qspi: Fix<br />
use-after-free on unbind"). The issue was not introduced by this commit,<br />
only made more obvious.
