Vulnerability Description

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

platform/x86/intel/pmt: fix a crashlog NULL pointer access

Usage of the intel_pmt_read() for binary sysfs, requires a pcidev. The
current use of the endpoint value is only valid for telemetry endpoint
usage.

Without the ep, the crashlog usage causes the following NULL pointer
exception:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:intel_pmt_read+0x3b/0x70 [pmt_class]
Code:
Call Trace:

Augment struct intel_pmt_entry with a pointer to the pcidev to avoid
the NULL pointer exception.
