The CVE describes an out-of-bounds read in the SMC protocol stack, but
no vulnerable code was ever identified. The MITRE record lists the
affected version as "Not Known" and references only two Red Hat
bugzillas, the originating one of which was never made public.

The public bugzilla is closed as NOTABUG, with the statement "There was
no shipped kernel version that was seen affected by this problem":

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2044575
  https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-0400

SUSE reached the same conclusion independently, closing bsc#1195329 as
RESOLVED / INVALID:

  https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-0400.html

So did Debian, which marks it unimportant with the note "non issue, no
security impact":

  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-0400

There is no commit in mainline referencing this CVE. The net/smc
out-of-bounds fixes that landed in v5.18 (b1871fd48efc, 0558226cebee)
are in local, privileged paths and are not linked to this CVE by any
tracker.
