Description

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: marvell: prestera: fix NULL
 dereference on devlink_alloc() failure devlink_alloc() may return NULL on allocation failure, but
 prestera_devlink_alloc() unconditionally calls devlink_priv() on the returned pointer. This leads to a
