Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/exynos: hdmi: report safe 640x480 mode as a fallback when no EDID found<br />
<br />
When reading EDID fails and driver reports no modes available, the DRM<br />
core adds an artificial 1024x786 mode to the connector. Unfortunately<br />
some variants of the Exynos HDMI (like the one in Exynos4 SoCs) are not<br />
able to drive such mode, so report a safe 640x480 mode instead of nothing<br />
in case of the EDID reading failure.<br />
<br />
This fixes the following issue observed on Trats2 board since commit<br />
13d5b040363c ("drm/exynos: do not return negative values from .get_modes()"):<br />
<br />
