In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: qcom-qmp-usb: Fix an NULL vs IS_ERR() bug
The qmp_usb_iomap() helper function currently returns the raw result of
devm_ioremap() for non-exclusive mappings. Since devm_ioremap() may return
a NULL pointer and the caller only checks error pointers with IS_ERR(),
NULL could bypass the check and lead to an invalid dereference.
Fix the issue by checking if devm_ioremap() returns NULL. When it does,
qmp_usb_iomap() now returns an error pointer via IOMEM_ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM),
ensuring safe and consistent error handling.
