Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm/dsi: don't dump registers past the mapped region

On DSI 6G platforms the IO address space is internally adjusted by
io_offset. Later this adjusted address might be used for memory dumping.
However the size that is used for memory dumping isn't adjusted to
account for the io_offset, leading to the potential access to the
unmapped region. Lower ctrl_size by the io_offset value to prevent
access past the mapped area.
