CVE-2021-47631
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: davinci: da850-evm: Avoid NULL pointer dereference
With newer versions of GCC, there is a panic in da850_evm_config_emac() when booting multi_v5_defconfig in QEMU under the palmetto-bmc machine:
The emac_pdata pointer in soc_info is NULL because davinci_soc_info only gets populated on davinci machines but da850_evm_config_emac() is called on all machines via device_initcall().
Move the rmii_en assignment below the machine check so that it is only dereferenced when running on a supported SoC.
