CVE-2025-40317

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

regmap: slimbus: fix bus_context pointer in regmap init calls

Commit 4e65bda8273c (ASoC: wcd934x: fix error handling in wcd934x_codec_parse_data()) revealed the problem in the slimbus regmap. That commit breaks audio playback, for instance, on sdm845 Thundercomm Dragonboard 845c board:

The __devm_regmap_init_slimbus() started to be used instead of __regmap_init_slimbus() after the commit mentioned above and turns out the incorrect bus_context pointer (3rd argument) was used in __devm_regmap_init_slimbus(). It should be just slimbus (which is equal to &slimbus->dev). Correct it. The wcd934x codec seems to be the only or the first user of devm_regmap_init_slimbus() but we should fix it till the point where __devm_regmap_init_slimbus() was introduced therefore two Fixes tags.

While at this, also correct the same argument in __regmap_init_slimbus().
