Hi,

I could argue that this is not CVE at all. It changes just bit positions.

- PWMF_REQUESTED = 1 << 0,
- PWMF_EXPORTED = 1 << 1,
+ PWMF_REQUESTED = 0,
+ PWMF_EXPORTED = 1,

ie. before fix they 1 and 2 and after the fix 0, 1.

All call sites are using set/test_bit() on unsigned long flags.

Yes, double shift do not look right, but I don't see how
this could lead to malfunction, let alone a CVE.

Regards,
Ivan
