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

octeontx2-af: Add validation for lmac type

Upon physical link change, firmware reports to the kernel about the
change along with the details like speed, lmac_type_id, etc.
Kernel derives lmac_type based on lmac_type_id received from firmware.

In a few scenarios, firmware returns an invalid lmac_type_id, which
is resulting in below kernel panic. This patch adds the missing
validation of the lmac_type_id field.
