Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: hdmi: Move packet RAM enable to PM runtime
Audio can be triggered by the HPD handler and start up before video has
been restored, calling vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe() for the audio infoframe.
vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe() needs Packet RAM to be on to store the
infoframe, however, if the video hasn't been enabled,
vc4_hdmi_encoder_post_crtc_enable() hasn't been called and therefore, the
Packet RAM can be disabled by the time vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe() executes,
causing the following splat:

Considering that Packet RAM enable is essentially a power management
configuration, move its enabling/disabling to the Runtime PM hooks.
Note that post_crtc_disable() still stops all infoframes, but keeps Packet
RAM enabled, leaving it to be disabled by runtime suspend.
