## Overview

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

misc: ti_fpc202: fix a potential memory leak in probe function

Use for_each_child_of_node_scoped() to simplify the code and ensure the
device node reference is automatically released when the loop scope
ends.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 6.16, < 6.18.16`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 6.19.6`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.19.6`
