The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in the gpio-rockchip driver remove path when handling device teardown and stray interrupts after driver removal. A local user can trigger a stray interrupt after the driver is removed to cause a denial of service.

The issue involves an uncleared chained IRQ handler that can leave a stale handler reachable after unbind.
