Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> thermal/drivers/hisi: Drop second sensor hi3660<br /> <br /> The commit 74c8e6bffbe1 ("driver core: Add __alloc_size hint to devm<br /> allocators") exposes a panic "BRK handler: Fatal exception" on the<br /> hi3660_thermal_probe funciton.<br /> This is because the function allocates memory for only one<br /> sensors array entry, but tries to fill up a second one.<br /> <br /> Fix this by removing the unneeded second access.
