Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mfd: cros_ec: Delay dev_set_drvdata() until probe success<br />
<br />
If ec_device_probe() fails, cros_ec_class_release releases memory for the<br />
cros_ec_dev structure. However, because the drvdata was already set,<br />
sub-drivers like cros_ec_typec can still retrieve the stale pointer via the<br />
platform device. This leads to a use-after-free when cros_ec_typec attempts<br />
to access &typec->ec->ec->dev on a device that has already been released.<br />
Move dev_set_drvdata() to ensure that the pointer is only made available<br />
once all initialization steps have succeeded.<br />
