Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: xhci: tegra: fix sleep in atomic call<br />
<br />
When we set the dual-role port to Host mode, we observed the following<br />
splat:<br />
[ 167.057718] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at<br />
include/linux/sched/mm.h:229<br />

<br />
The function tegra_xusb_padctl_get_usb3_companion eventually calls<br />
tegra_xusb_find_port and this in turn calls kasprintf which might sleep<br />
and so cannot be called from an atomic context.<br />
<br />
Fix this by moving the call to tegra_xusb_padctl_get_usb3_companion to<br />
the tegra_xhci_id_work function where it is really needed.
