"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-56787 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: imx8m: Probe the SoC driver as
    platform driver With driver_async_probe=* on kernel command line, the following trace is produced because
    on i.MX8M Plus hardware because the soc-imx8m.c driver calls of_clk_get_by_name() which returns
    -EPROBE_DEFER because the clock driver is not yet probed. This was not detected during regular testing
    without driver_async_probe. Convert the SoC code to platform driver and instantiate a platform device in
    its current device_initcall() to probe the platform driver. Rework .soc_revision callback to always return
    valid error code and return SoC revision via parameter. This way, if anything in the .soc_revision
    callback return -EPROBE_DEFER, it gets propagated to .probe and the .probe will get retried later.
