[PATCH 5.4 101/110] rsi: fix use-after-free on probe errors

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jan 30 2020 - 13:50:41 EST


From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 92aafe77123ab478e5f5095878856ab0424910da upstream.

The driver would fail to stop the command timer in most error paths,
something which specifically could lead to the timer being freed while
still active on I/O errors during probe.

Fix this by making sure that each function starting the timer also stops
it in all relevant error paths.
