In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (pmbus/core) honor vrm_version in pmbus_data2reg_vid()
pmbus_data2reg_vid() hardcoded the VR11 encoding regardless of the
vrm_version configured by the driver, while pmbus_reg2data_vid()
already switched on it. Any driver that selects a non-VR11 VID mode
and exposes a regulator (or hwmon vout setter) sent dangerously
wrong codes to PMBUS_VOUT_COMMAND -- e.g. an nvidia195mv part asked
for 200 mV got the VR11 clamp to 500 mV encoded as 0xB2, which the
chip interprets as 1080 mV.
Mirror pmbus_reg2data_vid() so writes round-trip with reads.
