In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: imx: disable Ageing Timer interrupt request irq
There maybe pending USR interrupt before requesting irq, however
uart_add_one_port has not executed, so there will be kernel panic:

The issue only happends in the inmate linux when Jailhouse hypervisor
enabled. The test procedure is:
while true; do
jailhouse enable imx8mp.cell
jailhouse cell linux xxxx
sleep 10
jailhouse cell destroy 1
jailhouse disable
sleep 5
done
And during the upper test, press keys to the 2nd linux console.
When `jailhouse cell destroy 1`, the 2nd linux has no chance to put
the uart to a quiese state, so USR1/2 may has pending interrupts. Then
when `jailhosue cell linux xx` to start 2nd linux again, the issue
trigger.
In order to disable irqs before requesting them, both UCR1 and UCR2 irqs
should be disabled, so here fix that, disable the Ageing Timer interrupt
in UCR2 as UCR1 does.
