Why is there a CVE in the first place?  Is this actually an issue you
have seen?  It seems like you just picked a random patch and opened a
CVE.

Since there is no patch to fix CVE-2023-52624 in linux-5.10, there is a patch in the linux-6.7 branch, its commit is 2ef98c6d753a744e333b7e34b9cf687040fba57d ("drm/amd/display: Wake DMCUB before executing GPINT commands"). When we apply this patch to linux-5.10, there are lots of conflicts, and we found there are lots of dependent patches, and lots of patches are not proposed to fix the cve, they are presented to add new functions of the kernel.
