Subject: [PATCH] firmware_loader: Fix use-after-free during unregister
Git-commit: 8b40c38e37492b5bdf8e95b46b5cca9517a9957a
Patch-mainline: v6.0-rc4
References: jsc#PED-1263

In the following code within firmware_upload_unregister(), the call to
device_unregister() could result in the dev_release function freeing the
fw_upload_priv structure before it is dereferenced for the call to
module_put(). This bug was found by the kernel test robot using
CONFIG_KASAN while running the firmware selftests.

  device_unregister(&fw_sysfs->dev);
  module_put(fw_upload_priv->module);

The problem is fixed by copying fw_upload_priv->module to a local variable
for use when calling device_unregister().
