CVE-2026-31540

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

drm/i915/gt: Check setdefaultsubmission() before deferencing

When the i915 driver firmware binaries are not present, the setdefaultsubmission pointer is not set. This pointer is dereferenced during suspend anyways.

Add a check to make sure it is set before dereferencing.
