In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: imx: Use devm_pm_runtime_enable()
sashiko complained about early usage of the device while probe isn't
completed. This can be mitigated by delaying the pm_runtime_enable()
into the removal path instead doing it early. This ensures that in an
error case the device is removed (and imx_mu_shutdown()) before
pm_runtime_disable() so we don't have to do this manually.
For the order to work, lets move devm_mbox_controller_register() until
after the pm-runtime part. So the reverse order will be mbox-controller
removal followed by disabling pm runtime.
Use devm_pm_runtime_enable(), remove manual pm_runtime_disable()
invocations and move the pm_runtime handling in probe before
devm_mbox_controller_register().
