## Overview

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

accel: ethosu: Fix ethosu_job_open() return value

A WARN_ON() returns a 0 or 1, not the original negative errno. Just drop
the WARN_ON() as the FD open will pass the return code to userspace and
there's only one possible source of the error (drm_sched_entity_init()).

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
