In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/bridge: sii902x: Fix probing race issue
A null pointer dereference crash has been observed rarely on TI
platforms using sii9022 bridge:

The issue here is as follows:
Fix this by moving the drm_bridge_add() to the end of the
sii902x_init(), which is also at the very end of sii902x_probe().
