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

remoteproc: imx_rproc: Fix invalid loaded resource table detection

imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() may incorrectly report a loaded
resource table even when the current firmware does not provide one.

When the device tree contains a "rsc-table" entry, priv->rsc_table is
non-NULL and denotes where a resource table would be located if one is
present in memory. However, when the current firmware has no resource
table, rproc->table_ptr is NULL. The function still returns
priv->rsc_table, and the remoteproc core interprets this as a valid loaded
resource table.

Fix this by returning NULL from imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() when
there is no resource table for the current firmware (i.e. when
rproc->table_ptr is NULL). This aligns the function's semantics with the
remoteproc core: a loaded resource table is only reported when a valid
table_ptr exists.

With this change, starting firmware without a resource table no longer
triggers a crash.
