In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regmap: slimbus: fix bus_context pointer in regmap init calls
Commit 4e65bda8273c ("ASoC: wcd934x: fix error handling in
wcd934x_codec_parse_data()") revealed the problem in the slimbus regmap.
That commit breaks audio playback, for instance, on sdm845 Thundercomm
Dragonboard 845c board:

The __devm_regmap_init_slimbus() started to be used instead of
__regmap_init_slimbus() after the commit mentioned above and turns out
the incorrect bus_context pointer (3rd argument) was used in
__devm_regmap_init_slimbus(). It should be just "slimbus" (which is equal
to &slimbus->dev). Correct it. The wcd934x codec seems to be the only or
the first user of devm_regmap_init_slimbus() but we should fix it till
the point where __devm_regmap_init_slimbus() was introduced therefore
two "Fixes" tags.
While at this, also correct the same argument in __regmap_init_slimbus().
