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

idpf: fix read_dev_clk_lock spinlock init in idpf_ptp_init()

In idpf_ptp_init(), read_dev_clk_lock is initialized after ptp_schedule_worker() had already been called (and after idpf_ptp_settime64() could reach the lock). The PTP aux worker fires immediately upon scheduling and can call into idpf_ptp_read_src_clk_reg_direct(), which takes spin_lock(&ptp->read_dev_clk_lock) on an uninitialized lock, triggering the lockdep "non-static key" warning:

Move the call to spin_lock_init() up a bit to make sure read_dev_clk_lock is not touched before it's been initialized.
