In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: ts2020: fix null-ptr-deref in ts2020_probe()
KASAN reported a null-ptr-deref issue when executing the following
command:
echo ts2020 0x20 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/new_device

i2c_device_probe+0x421/0xb40
really_probe+0x266/0x850
...
The cause of the problem is that when using sysfs to dynamically register
an i2c device, there is no platform data, but the probe process of ts2020
needs to use platform data, resulting in a null pointer being accessed.
Solve this problem by adding checks to platform data.
