In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx: fix clock and pinctrl state inconsistency in runtime PM
In i2c_imx_runtime_suspend(), the clock is disabled before switching
the pinctrl state to sleep. If pinctrl_pm_select_sleep_state() fails,
the runtime suspend is aborted but the clock remains disabled, causing
a system crash when the hardware is subsequently accessed.
Fix this by switching the pinctrl state before disabling the clock so
that a pinctrl failure leaves the clock enabled and the hardware
accessible.
In i2c_imx_runtime_resume(), restore the pinctrl state back to sleep
if clk_enable() fails to keep the consistent.
