In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm: don't free the IRQ if it was not requested

As msm_drm_uninit() is called from the msm_drm_init() error path, additional care should be necessary as not to call the free_irq() for the IRQ that was not requested before (because an error occured earlier than the request_irq() call).

This fixed the issue reported with the following backtrace:
