CVE-2026-98971

EUVD-2026-108765
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpio: exar: initialize the ID before registering its cleanup

devm_add_action_or_reset() invokes the cleanup action immediately when
registering the action fails.  gpio_exar_probe() currently stores the
allocated ID in exar_gpio only after registering the action, so that
failure makes exar_devm_ida_free() release ID 0.  If the allocated ID is
nonzero, this leaks that ID and can free ID 0 belonging to another device.

Store the ID before registering the cleanup action so both the immediate
failure path and normal device teardown release the correct allocation.
