commit eca21c2d8655387823d695b26e6fe78cf3975c05 upstream.
Several MFD child drivers register their class devices directly under
the parent device. This means you cannot blindly do devres conversions
so that deregistration ends up being tied to the parent device,
something which leads to use-after-free on driver unbind when the class
device is released while still being registered.

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.
