CVE-2024-53158: soc: qcom: geni-se: fix array underflow in geni_se_clk_tbl_get()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: geni-se: fix array underflow in geniseclktblget()
This loop is supposed to break if the frequency returned from clkroundrate() is the same as on the previous iteration. However, that check doesn't make sense on the first iteration through the loop. It leads to reading before the start of these->clkperftbl[] array.
