GHSA-q5g9-gxxp-qxh7 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:serial: rp2: use 'request_firmware' instead of 'request_firmware_nowait'In 'rp2_probe', the driver registers 'rp2_uart_interrupt' then calls
'rp2_fw_cb' through 'request_firmware_nowait'. In 'rp2_fw_cb', if the
firmware don't exists, function just return without initializing ports
of 'rp2_card'. But now the interrupt handler function has been
registered, and when an interrupt comes, 'rp2_uart_interrupt' may access
those ports then causing NULL pointer dereference or other bugs.Because the driver does some initialization work in 'rp2_fw_cb', in
order to make the driver ready to handle interrupts, 'request_firmware'
should be used instead of asynchronous 'request_firmware_nowait'.This report reveals it:INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.
