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

drm/xe: Fix opregion leak

Being part o the display, ideally the setup and cleanup would be done by
display itself. However this is a bigger refactor that needs to be done
on both i915 and xe. For now, just fix the leak:
