The problem is in gb_lights_request_handler(). If we get a request to
change the config then we release the light with gb_lights_light_release()
and re-allocated it. However, if the allocation fails part way through
then we call gb_lights_light_release() again. This can lead to a couple
different double frees where we haven't cleared out the original values:
gb_lights_light_v4l2_unregister(light);
...
kfree(light->channels);
kfree(light->name);
I also made a small change to how we set "light->channels_count = 0;".
The original code handled this part fine and did not cause a use after
free but it was sort of complicated to read.

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.
