There is a small window where the suspend\ncallback may run after PM runtime enabling and before runtime forbid.\nThis causes a sporadic crash during boot:\n\n```\nUnable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a1\n[...]\nCPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 11 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.16.7+ #116 PREEMPT\nWorkqueue: pm pm_runtime_work\npstate: 20000005 (nzCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\npc : qusb2_phy_runtime_suspend+0x14/0x1e0 [phy_qcom_qusb2]\nlr : pm_generic_runtime_suspend+0x2c/0x44\n[...]\n```\n\nAttach the QPHY instance as driver data before enabling runtime PM to\nprevent NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM callbacks.\n\nReorder pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_forbid() to prevent a\nshort window where an unnecessary runtime suspend can occur.\n\nUse the devres-managed version to ensure PM runtime is symmetrically\ndisabled during driver removal for proper cleanup.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1ca52c0983c34fca506921791202ed5bdafd5306","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4ac15caa27ff842b068a54f1c6a8ff8b31f658e7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/beba460a299150b5d8dcbe3474a8f4bdf0205180","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d50a9b7fd07296a1ab81c49ceba14cae3d31df86","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8a30ff99ae45d368737993961f7c334c76af5fa"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T13:47:47.119061695+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-71193","score":0.00197,"percentile":0.09419,"date":"2026-10-30"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
