Summary

In the Linux kernel, the remoteproc subsystem (SCP driver) leaks a device reference on a failed driver data lookup before the driver has been bound. The reference taken to the SCP device is not dropped when the lookup fails.

Risk Assessment

Repeated failed lookups can leak device references, eventually exhausting resources and causing system instability.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that drops the SCP device reference on failed driver data lookup.
