Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: ti: Fix missing sentinel for clk_div_table _get_table_maxdiv() tries to access "clk_div_table" array out of bound defined in phy-j721e-wiz.c. Add a sentinel entry to prevent the following global-out-of-bounds error reported by enabling KASAN.
