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

net: mdio: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for __mdiobus_register

Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing
significant bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below:

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:586:27
left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
