In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/bridge: tpd12s015: Drop buggy __exit annotation for remove function With tpd12s015_remove() marked with __exit this function is discarded when the driver is compiled as a built-in. The result is that when the driver unbinds there is no cleanup done which results in resource leakage or worse.
