In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:drm/ast: astdp: Fix timeout for enabling video signalThe ASTDP transmitter sometimes takes up to 1 second for enabling the
video signal, while the timeout is only 200 msec. This results in a
kernel error message. Increase the timeout to 1 second. An example
of the error message is shown below.[  697.084433] ------------[ cut here ]------------

even with the error message. The problem has always been present, but
only recent versions of the ast driver warn about missing the timeout.
