Oracle Linux: CVE-2024-42089: ELSA-2024-12610: Unbreakable Enterprise kernel security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: set priv->pdev before using it
priv->pdev pointer was set after being used in
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init().
Move this assignment at the start of the probe function, so
sub-functions can correctly use pdev through priv.
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init() dereferences priv->pdev to get access to the
dev struct, used with dev_err macros.
As priv is zero-initialised, there would be a NULL pointer dereference.
Note that if priv->dev is dereferenced before assignment but never used,
for example if there is no error to be printed, the driver won't crash
probably due to compiler optimisations.
A flaw was found in the `fsl-asoc-card` driver in the Linux kernel. This issue was fixed by ensuring the `priv->pdev` pointer is initialized before use. Previously, `priv->pdev` was used in the `fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init()` function before being assigned, potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crashes.
