commit 80264809ea0a3fd2ee8251f31a9eb85d2c3fc77e upstream. After the switch to use v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev() and v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup(), unloading the ti_cal module would cause a kernel oops. This was root cause to the fact that v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup() tries to kfree the asd pointer passed into v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev(). In our case the asd reference was from a statically allocated struct. So in effect v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup() was trying to free a pointer that was not kalloc. So here we switch to using a kzalloc struct instead of a static one. To achieve this we re-order some of the calls to prevent asd allocation from leaking.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
