Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: nxp: imx8-isi: Fix use-after-free on remove<br />
<br />
KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in __media_entity_remove_link()<br />
during rmmod of imx8_isi:<br />
<br />
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __media_entity_remove_link+0x608/0x650<br />

<br />
The problem is that mxc_isi_remove() calls mxc_isi_crossbar_cleanup()<br />
before mxc_isi_v4l2_cleanup(). The crossbar cleanup frees the media<br />
entity pads, but the subsequent v4l2 cleanup still tries to remove<br />
media links that reference those pads.<br />
<br />
Fix this by calling mxc_isi_v4l2_cleanup() before<br />
mxc_isi_crossbar_cleanup() to ensure all media entities are properly<br />
unregistered while the pads are still valid.
