CVE-2024-42253

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: pca953x: fix pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock race
Ensure that `i2c_lock’ is held when setting interrupt latch and mask in
pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock() in order to avoid races.
The other (non-probe) call site pca953x_gpio_set_multiple() ensures the
lock is held before calling pca953x_write_regs().
The problem occurred when a request raced against irq_bus_sync_unlock()
approximately once per thousand reboots on an i.MX8MP based system.
