CVE-2025-68220
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: ti: netcp: Standardize knav_dma_open_channel to return NULL on error
Make knav_dma_open_channel consistently return NULL on error instead of ERR_PTR. Currently the header include/linux/soc/ti/knav_dma.h returns NULL when the driver is disabled, but the driver implementation does not even return NULL or ERR_PTR on failure, causing inconsistency in the users. This results in a crash in netcp_free_navigator_resources as followed (trimmed):
[... TRIM...]
Standardize the error handling by making the function return NULL on all error conditions. The API is used in just the netcp_core.c so the impact is limited.

Note, this change, in effect reverts commit 5b6cb43b4d62 ("net: ethernet: ti: netcp_core: return error while dma channel open issue"), but provides a less error prone implementation.
