commit feb09b2933 upstream.
This patch follows Alan Stern's recent patch:
"p54: Fix race between disconnect and firmware loading"
that overhauled carl9170 buggy firmware loading and driver
unbinding procedures.
Since the carl9170 code was adapted from p54 it uses the
same functions and is likely to have the same problem, but
it's just that the syzbot hasn't reproduce them (yet).
a summary from the changes (copied from the p54 patch):
* Call usb_driver_release_interface() rather than
device_release_driver().
* Lock udev (the interface's parent) before unbinding the
driver instead of locking udev->parent.
* During the firmware loading process, take a reference
to the USB interface instead of the USB device.
* Don't take an unnecessary reference to the device during
probe (and then don't drop it during disconnect).
and
* Make sure to prevent use-after-free bugs by explicitly
setting the driver context to NULL after signaling the
completion.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
