From: Ben Hutchings Date: Fri, 03 Jun 2016 00:48:39 +0100 Subject: mtd: Disable slram and phram when locked down Forwarded: no The slram and phram drivers both allow mapping regions of physical address space such that they can then be read and written by userland through the MTD interface. This is probably usable to manipulate hardware into overwriting kernel code on many systems. Prevent that if locked down.
