Summary

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

drivers/thermal/loongson2_thermal: Fix incorrect PTR_ERR() judgment

PTR_ERR() returns -ENODEV when thermal-zones are undefined, and we need -ENODEV as the right value for comparison.

Otherwise, tz->type is NULL when thermal-zones is undefined, resulting in the following error:
