DescriptionNVD

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

media: imx-jpeg: Ensure power suppliers be suspended before detach them

The power suppliers are always requested to suspend asynchronously, dev_pm_domain_detach() requires the caller to ensure proper synchronization of this function with power management callbacks. otherwise the detach may led to kernel panic, like below:
