NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
w1: fix NULL pointer dereference in probe<br />
<br />
The w1_uart_probe() function calls w1_uart_serdev_open() (which includes<br />
devm_serdev_device_open()) before setting the client ops via<br />
serdev_device_set_client_ops(). This ordering can trigger a NULL pointer<br />
dereference in the serdev controller&#39;s receive_buf handler, as it assumes<br />
serdev->ops is valid when SERPORT_ACTIVE is set.<br />
<br />
This is similar to the issue fixed in commit 5e700b384ec1<br />
("platform/chrome: cros_ec_uart: properly fix race condition") where<br />
devm_serdev_device_open() was called before fully initializing the<br />
device.<br />
<br />
Fix the race by ensuring client ops are set before enabling the port via<br />
w1_uart_serdev_open().
