Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Realtek Digital Subscriber Line (DSA) driver. The driver incorrectly uses gpiod_set_value() instead of gpiod_set_value_cansleep() for reset GPIO operations. This can lead to system warnings when the reset GPIO is managed by a sleeping controller, potentially causing unexpected behavior or instability during the probe path.
