Overview
What is CVE-2026-98956?
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: adau1372: allow sleepy powerdown GPIOs
gpiod_set_value() emits a WARN when the GPIO provider indicates that it can sleep, as is typical for I2C controlled GPIO expanders. Since the powerdown GPIO is only manipulated in process context, use the _cansleep variant instead.
This lets the driver use sleepy GPIOs to power off the chip.
