There was strange error handling logic in case of fw load failure. For some reason fw loader callback was doing clean up stuff when fw is not available. I don't see any reason behind doing this. Since this driver doesn't have EEPROM firmware let's just disconnect it in case of fw load failure. Doing clean up stuff in 2 different place which can run concurently is not good idea and syzbot found 2 bugs related to this strange approach. So, in this pacth I deleted all clean up code from fw callback and made a call to device_release_driver() under device_lock(parent) in case of fw load failure. This approach is more generic and it defend driver from UAF bugs, since all clean up code is moved to one place.

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.
