In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regmap: sdw-mbq: don't call an unset readable_reg callback
regmap_sdw_mbq_poll_busy() decides whether to poll the Function Busy bit
by calling ctx->readable_reg(), which is a straight copy of
config->readable_reg. That callback is optional: regmap_readable() treats
a NULL ->readable_reg as "every register is readable", and drivers rely on
that. es9356 and tac5xx2-sdw both build an MBQ regmap without one.
Since commit ca1b11b36d82 ("regmap: sdw-mbq: Allow defers on undeferrable
controls") the poll runs on every -ENODATA, not only for Controls the
driver marked deferrable, so any of those devices answering
COMMAND_IGNORED takes the kernel through a NULL function pointer.
Treat a missing callback the way the rest of regmap does and poll.
