Added Description

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

device property: set fwnode->secondary to NULL in fwnode_init()

If a firmware node is allocated on the stack (for instance: temporary
software node whose life-time we control) or on the heap - but using a
non-zeroing allocation function - and initialized using fwnode_init(),
its secondary pointer will contain uninitalized memory which likely will
be neither NULL nor IS_ERR() and so may end up being dereferenced (for
example: in dev_to_swnode()). Set fwnode->secondary to NULL on
initialization.
