Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: vimc: skip .s_stream() for stopped entities Syzbot reported [1] a warning prompted by a check in call_s_stream() that checks whether .s_stream() operation is warranted for unstarted or stopped subdevs. Add a simple fix in vimc_streamer_pipeline_terminate() ensuring that entities skip a call to .s_stream() unless they have been previously properly started.
