Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pmdomain: imx8m-blk-ctrl: Remove separate rst and clk mask for 8mq vpu For i.MX8MQ platform, the ADB in the VPUMIX domain has no separate reset and clock enable bits, but is ungated and reset together with the VPUs. So we can't reset G1 or G2 separately, it may led to the system hang. Remove rst_mask and clk_mask of imx8mq_vpu_blk_ctl_domain_data. Let imx8mq_vpu_power_notifier() do really vpu reset.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability relates to the Linux kernel on the i.MX8MQ platform, specifically involving the VPUMIX domain's ADB (Advanced Debug Bridge). The issue arises because the ADB in this domain does not have separate reset and clock enable bits; instead, it is ungated and reset together with the VPUs (Video Processing Units). As a result, attempts to reset G1 or G2 separately can cause the system to hang. The fix involves removing the separate reset and clock masks and allowing the imx8mq_vpu_power_notifier() function to handle the VPU reset properly.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to system hangs if the reset of certain components (G1 or G2) is attempted separately on the i.MX8MQ platform. Such system hangs can cause instability, crashes, or unresponsiveness in devices using this hardware and affected Linux kernel versions.
