Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/ast: astdp: Fix timeout for enabling video signal<br />
<br />
The ASTDP transmitter sometimes takes up to 1 second for enabling the<br />
video signal, while the timeout is only 200 msec. This results in a<br />
kernel error message. Increase the timeout to 1 second. An example<br />
of the error message is shown below.<br />

<br />
This is a cosmetical problem. Enabling the video signal still works<br />
even with the error message. The problem has always been present, but<br />
only recent versions of the ast driver warn about missing the timeout.
