## Overview

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

regulator: check that dummy regulator has been probed before using it

Due to asynchronous driver probing there is a chance that the dummy
regulator hasn't already been probed when first accessing it.

## Affected

- `Linux >= 259b93b21a9ffe5117af4dfb5505437e463c6a5a < 998b1aae22dca87da392ea35f089406cbef6032d`
- `Linux >= 259b93b21a9ffe5117af4dfb5505437e463c6a5a < a99f1254b11eaadd0794b74a8178bad92ab01cae`
- `Linux >= 259b93b21a9ffe5117af4dfb5505437e463c6a5a < 21e3fdf3146f9c63888d6bfabbd553434a5fb93f`
- `Linux >= 259b93b21a9ffe5117af4dfb5505437e463c6a5a < 2c7a50bec4958f1d1c84d19cde518d0e96a676fd`
- `Linux 6.4`
