Published: 2024-07-12

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

iio: temperature: mlx90635: Fix ERR_PTR dereference in mlx90635_probe()

When devm_regmap_init_i2c() fails, regmap_ee could be error pointer,
instead of checking for IS_ERR(regmap_ee), regmap is checked which looks
like a copy paste error.
