Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
pinctrl: mcp23s08: Initialize mcp->dev and mcp->addr before regmap init<br />
<br />
Regmap initialization triggers regcache_maple_populate() which attempts<br />
SPI read to populate cache. SPI read requires mcp->dev and mcp->addr to<br />
be set, without them, NULL pointer dereference occurs during probe.<br />
<br />
Move initialization before mcp23s08_spi_regmap_init() call.
