NVD description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/gt: Check set_default_submission() before deferencing When the i915 driver firmware binaries are not present, the set_default_submission pointer is not set. This pointer is dereferenced during suspend anyways. Add a check to make sure it is set before dereferencing.
