[Severity: High]
Does enabling this PHY expose a NULL pointer dereference in the driver upon
removal?
Looking at the driver for this PHY in
drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-uniphy-usb-ss-22ull.c, the
qcom_uniphy_usb_probe() function allocates the uniphy state but fails to save
it to the platform device:
drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-uniphy-usb-ss-22ull.c:qcom_uniphy_usb_probe() {
...
phy_set_drvdata(uniphy->phy, uniphy);
phy_provider = devm_of_phy_provider_register(dev, of_phy_simple_xlate);
...
}
When the driver is unbound, qcom_uniphy_usb_remove() retrieves a NULL pointer:
drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-uniphy-usb-ss-22ull.c:qcom_uniphy_usb_remove() {
struct uniphy_usb *uniphy = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
qcom_uniphy_usb_mux_select(uniphy, false);
}
This NULL pointer is then passed to qcom_uniphy_usb_mux_select(), causing a
crash.
Should a fix adding platform_set_drvdata(pdev, uniphy) be included to prevent
unbinding this device from causing a kernel oops?
