In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: add sysfs_attr_init() to count_clock init

The lock-related debug logic (CONFIG_LOCK_STAT) in the kernel is noting
the following warning when the BlueField-3 SOC is booted:

BUG: key ffff00008a3402a8 has not been registered!
------------[ cut here ]------------

The mlxbf_pmc driver must call sysfs_attr_init() during the
initialization of the "count_clock" data structure to avoid
this warning.
