Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: davinci: fix division by zero on missing clock-frequency
When the 'clock-frequency' property is missing from the device tree,
the driver falls back to DAVINCI_I2C_DEFAULT_BUS_FREQ. However, this
macro was defined in kHz (100), whereas the device tree property is
expected in Hz.
The probe function divided the fallback value by 1000, causing
integer truncation that resulted in dev->bus_freq = 0. This triggered
a deterministic division-by-zero kernel panic when calculating clock
dividers later in the probe sequence.
Fix this by redefining DAVINCI_I2C_DEFAULT_BUS_FREQ in Hz (100000)
to match the expected device tree property unit, allowing the existing
division logic to work correctly for both cases.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64236 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
