In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: qcom-geni: Fix blocked task
Revert commit 1afa70632c39 ("serial: qcom-geni: Enable PM runtime for serial driver") and its dependent commit 86fa39dd6fb7 ("serial: qcom-geni: Enable Serial on SA8255p Qualcomm platforms") because the first one causes regression - hang task on Qualcomm RB1 board (QRB2210) and unable to use serial at all during normal boot:
INFO: task kworker/u16:0:12 blocked for more than 42 seconds.

The issue was reported on 12th of August and was ignored by author of commits introducing issue for two weeks. Only after complaining author produced a fix which did not work, so if original commits cannot be reliably fixed for 5 weeks, they obviously are buggy and need to be dropped.
