Description
===========

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

mtd: mchp23k256: use SPI match data for chip caps

The driver stores chip capacity information in both the OF match table
and the SPI id table. Probe currently uses of_device_get_match_data(),
so a non-OF SPI modalias match falls back to mchp23k256_caps even when
the SPI id table selected a different part.

Use spi_get_device_match_data() so SPI id-table driver_data is consumed
when OF match data is absent. This keeps the existing default fallback
while avoiding the wrong MTD geometry for id-table-only matches.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68467 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
