Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: cdns3: fix random warning message when driver load Warning log: [ 4.141392] Unexpected gfp: 0x4 (GFP_DMA32). Fixing up to gfp: 0xa20 (GFP_ATOMIC). Fix your code!

GFP_DMA32 is not useful at all. dma_alloc_coherent() will handle DMA memory region correctly by pool->dev. GFP_DMA32 can be removed safely.
