Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: cdns3: fix random warning message when driver load Warning log:

cdns3_allocate_trb_pool() and have GFP_DMA32 flags.
kmall_fix_flags() report warning. GFP_DMA32 is not useful at all. dma_alloc_coherent() will handle
DMA memory region correctly by pool->dev. GFP_DMA32 can be removed
safely.
