In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Fix system suspend without fbdev being initialized
If fbdev is not initialized for some reason - in practice on platforms
without display - suspending fbdev should be skipped during system
suspend, fix this up. While at it add an assert that suspending fbdev
only happens with the display present.
This fixes the following:
