Description

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

drm/ast: astdp: Fix timeout for enabling video signal

The ASTDP transmitter sometimes takes up to 1 second for enabling the
video signal, while the timeout is only 200 msec. This results in a
kernel error message. Increase the timeout to 1 second. An example
of the error message is shown below.
