CVE-2022-50250

EUVD-2022-55502
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

regulator: core: fix use_count leakage when handling boot-on

I found a use_count leakage towards supply regulator of rdev with
boot-on option.

┌───────────────────┐           ┌───────────────────┐
│  regulator_dev A  │           │  regulator_dev B  │
│     (boot-on)     │           │     (boot-on)     │
│    use_count=0    │◀──supply──│    use_count=1    │
│                   │           │                   │
└───────────────────┘           └───────────────────┘

In case of rdev(A) configured with `regulator-boot-on', the use_count
of supplying regulator(B) will increment inside
regulator_enable(rdev->supply).

Thus, B will acts like always-on, and further balanced
regulator_enable/disable cannot actually disable it anymore.

However, B was also configured with `regulator-boot-on', we wish it
could be disabled afterwards.
