CVE-2023-54026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
opp: Fix use-after-free in lazy_opp_tables after probe deferral
When dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths() in _allocate_opp_table() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, the opp_table is freed again, to wait until all the interconnect paths are available.
However, if the OPP table is using required-opps then it may already have been added to the global lazy_opp_tables list. The error path does not remove the opp_table from the list again.
This can cause crashes later when the provider of the required-opps is added, since we will iterate over OPP tables that have already been freed. E.g.:

Fix this by calling _of_clear_opp_table() to remove the opp_table from the list and clear other allocated resources. While at it, also add the missing mutex_destroy() calls in the error path.
