## Overview

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

media: i2c: dw9714: Disable the regulator when the driver fails to probe

When the driver fails to probe, we will get the following splat:

[   59.305988] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   59.306417] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 395 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2257 _regulator_put+0x3ec/0x4e0
[   59.310345] RIP: 0010:_regulator_put+0x3ec/0x4e0
[   59.318362] Call Trace:

[   59.319420]  i2c_device_probe+0x766/0x940

Fix this by disabling the regulator in error handling.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 4.13, < 5.18.3`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 5.18.3`
