CVE-2026-43072: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: platform_get_irq_byname() returns an int platform_get_irq_byname() will return a negative value if an error happens, so it should be checked and not just passed directly into devm_request_threaded_irq() hoping all will be ok.
